Sophie Theallet Fall 2012

Sophie Theallet envisioned aristocratic families who lost their fortune and stopped maintaining their castles. In a preview Theallet said that they still look beautiful and are continuing to live an elegant life. The result of this inspiration is translated into a faded notion of glamour. Turtle necks tucked under cocktail dresses, a one shouldered dress nipped in the waist, and brocade like patterns were some of the examples that made this collection elegant and showed the sophistication of Theallet's work for this fall/winter season. Couture like touches are her traits and will always show in any collection she designs and that is what she does best.



Remarkable Sophie Theallet for Spring/Summer 2012.



This collection by Sophie Theallet was an amazing statement of couture in New York. I say couture because of Theallet's training at Azzedine Alaïa and Jean Paul Gaultier. The inspiration is from the 1969 film "La Piscine" which projected sexual tension and bold color. The lineup opened with a group of noticeable short or floor-duster dresses that revealed a bit of skin. There were some bold prints on graphic and another had tulips. The blousy satin dresses showed a freedom that was elegant and sensual. Theallet has a remarkable touch with her craftsmanship and proves that she makes clothes that is fit for a woman of any body type. She is truly a couturier at heart. Remarkable.
