Our first Fashion Show on Boutique Café shows off the designs of Lark Johnson and features her own sweet daughter, Sophie, as her muse and model. Lark sells her designs on eBay under the user id "my_angel_sophie" and has been a long standing and admired member of the eBay Boutique community. Her 2005 collection is called the TUTU Collection and is a wonderful melding of Funky flair for your little girl. Her tutu skirts are the perfect style to wear with any top from long to short sleeves, tank tops or even can be dressed up for a really special occasion. Lark says, " Sophie wears her own tutu's everywhere, I wanted to design something that would incorporate the girly funk look that I love and make it versatile for your little girl to wear any day."
