BABY ON THE BRAIN: Alice + Olivia founder and designer Stacy Bendet found internal inspiration this season. Due in November, the pregnant designer is expanding her children’s line for spring. “As I was pregnant and I found out I was having a girl, I just started sketching little girl clothes like crazy,” she said. The girls’ offerings are expanding from six items last year to about 24 for spring. Two friends’ daughters modeled at the in-store presentation Tuesday, where Bendet dutifully checked on her new husband between showing around buyers. “I like to show the clothes in a way that inspires retailers,” she said of the space that was taken over by hay bales and a vintage car. “This time we gave it a more bohemian vibe.”
