Sophia Reyes | Out of the Box

As excitement for Chicago's Fashion Focus Week drums up, we think it's fitting to welcome a new (for us) local designer to our shop. Sophia Reyes is an established Illinois-based talent with a Parson's degree and a keen eye for lines and fabrics that exude elegance and modernity.

Her tops, though simple at first glance, are brilliantly constructed to flatter nearly any figure type. They can be hard working 9-5 staples or evening classics for years to come.

Groa | Highlight

Arguably our most interesting layer of the season is the Groa sweater jacket. The soft wool felt, structured tailoring, and asymmetrical gathering make this piece distinctive and entirely wearable. Pair it with turtlenecks or tees, jeans or slacks, or top it over a dress with boots.

$278
