About me:

Hi, I’m Sofie Sullivan. I’ve worked in fashion for almost 20 years, but becoming a mom changed the way I got dressed more than any trend ever did.

I’m Parsons–trained in fashion design with a career rooted in product development and color. I started in New York working in womenswear, including Haute Hippie and Alice + Olivia, then moved to Los Angeles where I worked in menswear at Lucky Brand. Later, I became a colorist at Alo Yoga and built out their color department from the ground up. I have a trained eye, a strong intuitive sense for style, and a deep love for fashion. It’s what I’ve always lived, studied, and obsessed over.

Now I’m back in Arizona as a wife and mom of two toddlers, channeling that same expertise into helping other parents feel like themselves again. Because personal style doesn’t disappear in motherhood or fatherhood, it just evolves.

You are Wrong About Cool
If you’re new to The Colorist, this is the reel that best explains how I think about “cool”. Not as status, age, or trying too hard, but as taste, self-knowledge, and showing up with intention.

Hope that helps,
