Designers in the spotlight: Sophie Hulme

There are a lot of new, independent fashion labels out there and I've decided that every week I will dedicate a blog post to one of them to showcase how much fresh talent there is out there.

This week's post is dedicated to Sophie Hulme. Sophie graduated from Kingston University in 2007 with Student of the Year and Best Collection awards. She started her own label two months after graduating after much interest in her graduate collection. The Telegraph has named her as one of London's brightest talents. Of her collections, Sophie has said that she doesn't follow trends, but uses masculine influences to give feminine pieces a new toughness, which are supposed to build a capsule collection. She is now in her third season, as is only going from strength to strength.

Check out a few of her items from her recent collection- you can see all her collections on her website www.sophiehulme.com.
