Sofia Arana  founded the label and her full name is Sofia Arana Sagardia. She presented her ready-to-wear line at the Nolcha Fashion Week this year. This was a big step up the ladder for her, because Sofia Arana is also considered popular in New York now. She presented her show on  September 8 at 08.30 pm. The Puerto Rican started learning sewing at the age of 16. Her master was one of the most prestigious designers of the local fashion scene: Carlota Alfaro.

Sofia quickly decided to create her own line, although she originally planned to create unique specimen. Due to her great passion for fashion, she chose to design a ready-to-wear collection in which she combines the elegance of individual pieces with the requirements of everyday life. Classical silhouettes serve as a basis, especially the vintage pieces from the twenties, fifties, sixties and seventies.

The forms are playfully coupled with the challenges modern times. Refined, mostly very romantic details improve traditional lines. Thus, it appeals to elegant women with romantic veins and a casual charisma. These attributes are impudently and smartly implemented in her “The Gallery Girl Collection“. Restrained white and intensive red are combined with feminine, clear lines. Blouses, dresses, and skirts are delicately designed, especially in the interplay between lace details and transparent elements. A neckline at the back also intensifies the sensuality.
