"Regardless of season, our favorite looks\u00A0always balance capturing the moment\u00A0with being rooted in something bigger\u2014and it's pretty apparent mother-daughter design duo of Sophie Blahd and Liz Wolf share the same philosophy. The pair recently created Sofi Wolf, a contemporary collection incorporating original art and playful silhouettes, debuting this spring.\n\nLiz, a retired illustrator, draws the prints, while 27-year-old Sophie takes the design lead.\u00A0\"We actually started working together a long time ago, designing dresses for my bat mitzvah and prom,\" Sophie says. \"We're\u00A0so similar in how we think, work, and manage time that sometimes\u00A0it's\u00A0difficult to give critical feedback. But we really can't complain. It's great to know that your business partner has your back and understands where\u00A0you're\u00A0coming from.\" That's not to say they always see eye-to-eye.\u00A0\"Sophie's the girl we're designing for,\" Liz explains. \"When we occasionally disagree\u2014usually because I come up with a style or idea that's appropriate for a 50-something\u2014I try\u00A0to avoid the motherly response of, 'because I said so.'\"\n\nTheir first collection includes plenty of pretty layering and striking motifs, from plaid to abstracted floral. Our favorite element\u00A0by far, however, is the team's toile (seen in the crop top above)\u00A0which draws inspiration from New York's High Line park near their studio. \"It has small illustrated vignettes: people walking to work, tourists, kids, couples on dates,\" they explain. \"Every night we see the beautiful colors of the sun setting over the Hudson River\u2014it's hard to not gather inspiration from what we see on a daily basis.\"\n\nThe pair plans to continue weaving a narrative throughout their designs. \"We want our textiles to be more than just patterns,\" says Liz. \"Our spring floral is about the Mother's Day bouquet that Sophie and her brother gave to me.\" For them, fashion and family truly come together naturally.\n\nPrices start at $150.
