sophie theallet asserts her prominence as a rising star

You have to give it to Michelle Obama–she has an amazing sense of rising fashion stars. One of her favorites of the moment is Sophie Theallet, a French born designer who was Azzedine Alaia’s right hand for over a decade. Her spring 2011 collection could not have been more beautiful–my only complaint about it was the space that Theallet showed in, Lincoln Center’s presentation space. Theallet showed a hybrid of a presentation and runway show and it didn’t do the collection justice–I wanted to get up close. I loved the Spanish influences in the show and that Theallet ended with her interpretation of a wedding dress (does she have couture aspirations perhaps?)
