  • Backstage @ Sophia Webster SS’17 | CATWALK by TIGI

    Hair Inspiration: Maria Kovacs, TIGI European Session Director “The collection, inspired by many of the 60s trends, motivated me to create not just one look for this presentation, but instead, a number of different looks depending on the outfit style.

    Sophia Webster, season after season, redefines the creativity and the imagination explored within the realm of footwear.
