The future of retail is driven by community and wellbeing. That’s the belief of Andrew Rosen — a pioneer in the US contemporary fashion market, who co-founded Theory and has invested in Proenza Schouler and Rag & Bone — and Stacey Bendet, the founder of womenswear brand Alice + Olivia. The two executives have come together for the second time (Rosen is an investor in Alice + Olivia) to launch Big Feelings, a new clothing brand rooted in mental health awareness. It marks “a second phase of life” for both executives, Bendet tells Vogue Business.
