After
ten years as Head Designer at Maggie Sottero, Sophia Apostolides created a new
bridal collection, Sophia Tolli. With its unparalleled craftsmanship and
exceptional fit, the Sophia Tolli collection provides an array of gorgeous,
show-stopping bridal gowns. A seamstress since her early teens, Sophia grew up
surrounded by fabrics, sewing machines and dress patterns. Her aunt, a talented
dressmaker, handmade a majority of Sophia's wardrobe and allowed Sophia to
select her own fabrics. Sophia considers this early exposure to dressmaking as
the base of her informal education in fashion design. Sophia developed a strong
foundation in made-to-measure design by crafting custom prom, bridesmaid's
dresses and bridal gowns in her teens. During college, Sophia challenged
traditional sewing techniques and explored alternative methods of dressmaking.
Her award-winning expertise in fit and construction is the result of both her
childhood experiences and college education.
Sophia adds, "My collection has two distinct feelings: soft classic romanticism
and traditional bridal drama. My signature style will always be gowns with an
exceptional fit and cut."
