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.

From her Chicago-based studio, Winifred creates jewelry inspired by visually rich textures and patterns found in everything from nature to indigenous art, tapestries and adornments. Each season, she interprets the feminine mystique of natural wonders,
but with a subtle edge that adds reality to the fantasy.
Her edgy yet polished pieces were recently
featured in British Vogue.
