SOPHOMORE BY MADELINE VON FROOMER AND CHRISSIE MILLER - New Orleans Fashion Week Recap
There have been many delightful duos in the fashion industry – there’s Badgley Mischka, Dolce and Gabanna, Proenza Schouler and now Chrissie Miller and Madeline von Froomer. This pair, whose experience includes having attended SUNY and the Maryland Institute College of Art, as well as working for Proenza Schouler, have joined forces to create the label SOPHOMORE.
The line, which began with a single t-shirt design in 2003 has expanded into a full collection of contemporary sportswear. It includes tank tops, t-shirts, sweatshirts, leggings and jackets – all basics but with a New York vibe. Their Fall collection will showcase a variety of fabrics including a cozy heathered slub jersey, a “quilt” print and a quilted jersey backed with cotton twill, in addition to their standard basic fabrics.
The pair is looking forward to previewing their fall collection at NOLA Fashion Week not only because New Orleans is Madeline’s hometown, but also because they want to be a part of the extended recovery and cultural growth of the city.
