Style Sound Bite: Sophie Theallet on her Nine West Collaboration

We headed down to SoHo the other night to interview French designer Sophie Theallet about her capsule collaboration with shoe giant Nine West. Theallet, formerly Azzedine Alaia's right-hand woman, currently designs an eponymous line of her own, the wares of which have been spotted on First Lady Michelle Obama. She is French to the core, from her uber-red lips to her adorable accent, and that really comes through in this sophisticated collection, which was inspired by Paris and New York (flats that you can stick in your bag!). We immediately fell for the pink and chocolate ribbon detail on the rope espadrille wedges, priced at a ridiculously reasonable $99. Check out our interview with her here:

Style Sound Bite: Tommy Hilfiger

You may be sick of hearing the term pop-up shop, but are you familiar with a pop-up house? If not, Tommy Hilfiger would love to introduce you to the concept. This past week the designer showed a spring/summer capsule collection, titled Prep World, in a white-shingled house that looked like it was plucked out of Nantucket and dropped in the middle of the Meatpacking District, Wizard of Oz-style.

The story gets even crazier--the entire structure is going to be disassembled and reassembled in cities across the U.S. (Cali residents take note--Tommy opens shop in L.A. from June 10th-12th) and Europe! But back to the clothes and accessories: The collection was classic Tommy prep, but with a twist--lots of stripes and madras, with a bit of neon thrown in. Check out our interview with Hilfiger, in which he talks about his clean-cut aesthetic and, speaking of homes, also divulges what life was like growing up chez Hilfiger.

Style Sound Bite: Kim Raver

Actress Kim Raver first caught our eye as the gorgeous Nico Reilly on the short-lived (and sorely missed) TV series Lipstick Jungle. Now she dons scrubs for her weekly role as Dr. Teddy Altman on Grey's Anatomy. The stylish mother of two boys recently sat down with us to talk about her favorite labels (Helmut Lang), where she loves to shop (Abbot Kinney in Venice), and her plans for Mother's Day. Check out it out here:

Style Sound Bite: Alejandro Ingelmo

We headed down to SoHo to pay a visit to platform prince Alejandro Ingelmo, dropping by his store to drool over the wares. The shoes and the darling man behind them did not disappoint. He told us about his family's long history in the business and where he loves to shop these days--that is, when he's not busy designing heels that make us want to empty our bank accounts.
