Any fashion blog or magazine will tell you to never go out in head-to-toe Designer X. Sound advice. But every rule has its exceptions, and
SOPHOMORE NYC is one exception we're willing to make over, and over, and over again. Inspired by the classic, albeit 'rough around the edges' simplicity of downtown New York City, designer
Chrissie Miller knew she was onto something when the t-shirts she had originally created for her friends were suddenly the source of increasing demand among celebrities and retailers. Miller's next step was teaming up with
Madeleine von Froomer, and with Froomer's background at
Proenza Schouler, the two started adding versatile pieces to the already successful ultra-soft tees - skirts, dresses, jackets, and hoodies, with SOPHOMORE's signature perfect fit and characteristically edgy downtown attitude. I spoke to Chrissie about how she got her start and where she gets her ideas. Read on to see what she told me, and see the SLIDESHOW for our SOPHOMORE fall must-haves.
