Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet was launched in 2002 with a personal quest to create the perfect pair of pants, and has since grown into a full lifestyle collection including ready-to-wear, gowns, shoes, accessories and handbags. With pieces that juxtapose the whimsical and flirty with the sexy and sophisticated, each Alice + Olivia collection epitomizes the personality and perspective of founder Stacey. Pulling inspiration from the world around her, Stacey incorporates bold colors, unique prints and eclectic details that allow customers to creatively express their individual style.
The latest Spring 2017 Collection from Stacey is set in the romantic mystic gardens in Rome, where the power of interpretation wanders free. This collection balances a modern take on vintage Italian romance, with a touch of the strong, modern transcendent woman who roams the city’s streets, and is comprised of an eclectic mix of pieces and a sharp palette of rainbow tones among black, white and neutrals.
Building on the idea of a woman’s power to style her own look, Stacey also debuted Alice + Olivia’s first full-size eyewear collection this spring season. Reminiscent of Stacey’s signature “staceface” look, the collection consists of handmade Italian acetate sunglasses in bold shapes. Oversize cat eye, square and 80s inspired round frames can be found adorned with Swarvoski crystals, stainless steel studs and pops of color.
Giving back is essential to this dynamic brand. In it second year, Alice + Olivia will activate the “Buy a Dress, Give a Dream” initiative in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of NY, Prep for Prep and City Year New York to give away over one million dollars’ worth of merchandise to underprivileged girls. For every dress sold between March 6-19, 2017, Alice + Olivia will donate a dress to one of the three programs for young women to choose from and take home for prom – bringing their perfect prom dress dreams to life.
To learn more about the “Buy a Dress, Give a Dream” initiative and to shop the full Spring 17 Collection, visit the Alice + Olivia boutique Monday through Saturday between 10AM and 6PM or Sunday between 12PM and 5PM.
