Sophie Theallet on the Challenges Facing Independent Designers and the Unexpected Inspiration Behind Her Woolmark Prize-Winning Design
New York-based French designer Sophie Theallet took home the International Woolmark Prize for the U.S. earlier this week for her design using Woolmark's fine Australian Merino wool, beating out fierce competitors like Bibhu Mohapatra, Slinky Vagabond, Kaufman Franco, M. Patmos, Naeem Khan, Number:Lab, Prabal Gurung, Ruffian and VPL Designs. The prestigious prize--which Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent won in the 1950s--is back after a long hiatus. As the recipient of the U.S. regional prize, Theallet takes home $100,000 and goes on to compete in the international final for another $100,000. It sounds like a lot of money but it's much needed help for an independent luxury designer like Theallet. We chatted with the designer about her win, what it will mean for her business, and the unexpected inspiration behind her prize-winning design.
