Chirping birds and harp strumming greeted us as at CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winner Sophie Theallet's show. I was excited to see the designer's collection after hearing the buzz about her over the last couple seasons. 
The lovely fairy-tale themed, dress-focused collection began with a feminine, peasant style frock. Several soft, silky seventies-inspired dress silhouettes followed—looking fresh in shades of navy and burgundy punctuated with the occasional bright fuchsia or orange look.
Her French heritage played out in sweet foulard prints, rich velvet and shiny satin. Scrunched-down suede boots and shearling wrap jackets provided the attitude that kept Sophie's dresses from being overly sweet.
The focused, 34-look collection gave me a clear picture of Sophie's soft, but minimalist—truly award winning—sensibility.
