Alice + Olivia
Quick history
Alice + Olivia was founded in 2002 by Stacey Bendet in New York, beginning with a single goal: create flattering, perfectly cut pants. The brand quickly evolved into a full womenswear line known for bold prints, sharp tailoring, and playful glamour. By the 2000s and 2010s, Alice + Olivia became a favorite for people who wanted statement-making fashion that felt polished, fun, and unapologetically feminine.
