Designer Stacey Bendet socks Spitzer

In an e-mail blast yesterday, Alice + Olivia designer Stacey Bendet bashed Eliot Spitzer’s sex scandal and sartorial habits. She wrote: “I encourage you all to support Scott [Stringer] . . . 1. because he’s amazing and will be a great comptroller, 2. because his opponent has [sex] wearing dirty socks with prostitutes (I care more about the socks than the prostitutes).” A source explained: “Last year [Stacey] tweeted at Scott’s . . . office that she was having a problem with her elevator and people getting stuck in it. She knew to tweet at Scott because of his record on building safety” and, “They helped her get in touch with the Department of Buildings.” Other hip Stringer supporters include Lena Dunham and Scarlett Johansson.
