Stacey Bendet Eisner is a woman of her own design. Deciding to forgo the Wall Street path early on, she entered the fashion world, becoming her own CEO, and after blazing the way for super original multi-colored jeans, earned her "StaceyPants" nickname. A mother to Eloise, wife to producer Eric Eisner, and often times a convivial hostess, the pint-sized powerhouse designer behind Alice + Olivia makes her work part of her life, and her life part of her work. Here she talks about her new ventures, her bi-coastal tendencies, and her love of Big Macs.

imageOwner Evan Ross got the name right when he named his shop on Orchard Street. Frock is filled with fabulous vintage from the likes of YSL, Halston, Lanvin, Giorgio Saint Angelo, Thierry Mugler, Chanel, and Hermes to name a few. The store carries vintage ready-to-wear, jewelry, and accessories, plus many one-of-a-kind pieces specializing in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. One of my favorites in New York, this is a not-to-be-missed diamond in the rough.
