ALICE + OLIVIA

CREATIVITY + INTENTIONALITY + ACTIVISM

IN THE BEGINNING

Although she was the smallest while in 5th grade, Stacey Bendet could record far more pushups than the strongest person in her class. The amazing drive she possesses is attributed not just to the strength of the women that come from her family but also to her parents who instilled in them the mentality of self-belief – that they could become whatever they wanted to be and accomplish whatever they so wished.

Stacey Bendet was raised by her mum and dad in a small town called Chappaqua which is situated in Westchester, Newyork. Her mum was a teacher and her dad managed the lace trade of the family. Her family was among the list of the biggest lace makers locally. From the lace fabric her father always brought home, Bendet would always pick the finest patterns to design wears for her dolls and doll beds. Bendet recalls being in love with making things come to life due to the sense of satisfaction that doing so gave to her. Today, whether it’s a dress, a boutique or a photo shoot, she’s still pretty much in love with the process of transforming an idea into reality.
