SOPHIE THEALLET

AUTUMN-WINTER 2014

Sophie Theallet Autumn/Winter 2014 ready-to-wear collection consisted of collaged patchwork, biased-cut frocks, and dramatic gowns. The French designer stuck to her signature chic and elegant designs, modernized and slightly eccentric. The luxurious fabrics consisted of a mix of leather, plush velvets and sparkly metallics. A favorite piece included a grey asymmetrical fake fur wrap, as well as the glittery semi-sheer deep plunging gown that closed the show. We read that the designer’s inspiration for this collection was the 1958 Louis Malle crime film “Elevator to the Gallows“, which made sense with the slightly twisted overtone. French black supermodel Anais Mali ruled the catwalk, but we always love watching the waif-like innocence of newly bleached blonde model Codie Young awkwardly traipsing down the runway.
