Sophie Theallet, A Michelle O. Fave Won the 2009 CFDA VOGUE Fashion Fund

Sophie Theallet is this year’s CFDA's VOGUE Fashion Fund winner, with the announcement made by Nicole Kidman and Lanvin’s Alber Elbaz.

“I am French, so I am going to do my best,” said Sophie Theallet at tonight’s annoucement of this year’s CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund. Theallet, with a little break in her voice, said “You make my American dream come true.” She could have been speaking for all of tonight’s winners, because you don’t need to be French to feel that.
