| The alice + olivia collection was launched by New Yorker Stacey Bendet in 2002 -- the culmination of years of her trying to find the pair of perfect pants that had an ultra-flattering fit and stylish retro vibe. Bursting onto the hipster fashion scene as an almost overnight phenomenon, the playful, loveable line caught the eye of Andrew Rosen, founder of Theory, who soon became a partner in the company. With Bendet's quirky sensibility and urban edge, alice + olivia is sophisticated and youthful, boasting easy-to-wear sleek and chic pieces that range from sexy sequin dresses to structured coats and laid-back slouchy sweaters. "Whether it's a pant, T-shirt, or pair of shoes" Bendet says, "I want to make a girl feel sexy, smiley, beautiful and happy every time she puts on a piece of my clothing. It's about a fabulous fit and a chic silhouette, always." |
