Alice + Olivia

Alice + Olivia is a New York contemporary label founded in 2002 by Stacey Bendet, who started the line around a single goal: a perfect pair of pants. Theory founder Andrew Rosen joined as a partner soon after launch, and the company expanded into a full lifestyle collection spanning ready-to-wear, eveningwear and gowns, tailoring, footwear, handbags and accessories. The house signature is decorative femininity: whimsical prints, embellished and ornamented fabrics, bold color and close, high-waisted fits, sold through its own stores and wholesale.
