Stacey Bendet

She married film producer Eric Eisner, the son of Disney executive Michael Eisner, on the Caribbean island of Anguilla in 2008. The couple have three children: Eloise Breckenridge Eisner, Scarlet Haven Eisner, and Athena Belle Eisner. She splits her time between New York and Los Angeles.

In 2002, Bendet and a University of Pennsylvania classmate founded Alice + Olivia. The brand was named after her mother Olivia, and her classmate's mother Alice. Bendet's desire to make "a trouser sexy" and "the focus of an outfit" led to her modifying a pair of jeans that were cut slim at the hip to create the illusion of elongated legs and a lean silhouette. Designer Lisa Kline noticed her walking by and ordered twenty sets of the outfit, which provided an opportunity for Bendet to launch a collection based around that concept at the Russian Tea Room. Soon after, the department store Barneys New York placed an order, and Andrew Rosen, developer of the Theory fashion line, offered to finance Bendet's new business.

Stacey Bendet (born 1978) is the chief executive officer and creative director of Alice + Olivia, a contemporary clothing company based in New York City.

Bendet was born in 1978 to Olivia (née Bendet) Wiener and Joseph Daniel Wiener. Bendet is of Jewish heritage and had a bat mitzvah celebration. Bendet's father ran a textile import business, while she herself was interested in fashion and clothing from a young age. Bendet graduated from Horace Greeley High School in Chappaqua, New York and studied international relations and French at the University of Pennsylvania in 1999.
