Sophie Darby

I have always loved colors, textures, and layering. My favorite part is adding scarfs, ribbons, and charms to make it more me.

What makes your style stand out?

My combination of unique pieces makes my style stand out the most. I love shopping the thrift and finding anything that catches my eye. I also love tailoring and modifying my clothes to fit my body and whatever vibe i’m going for that day. My closet is diverse which makes it easy to be every version of myself. I am changing everyday and so is my style. No matter what look i’m going for I always add accessories like ribbons and brooches to really top off the outfit.

What’s your dream fashion moment?

To one day be able to design my own collection. I love making one of a kind outfits for my friends and I. Having a line a clothes that are so authentically me would be my dream. Fashion design is something I have always wanted to break into. I would love to learn as much as I can about sewing and styling, eventually applying it my own career.

What would you do with $20,000?

I would use it to further my career and knowledge of clothes making and the fashion industry in general. I’ve always been under the impression that breaking into the world of fashion would be almost impossible. I live in a small town with very judgey, close minded people. Being made fun of for my sense of style and ambitions to be a designer, have only motivated me more to get out of this town and make a career for myself by creating my most favorite form of art.
