Sophie, the Deputy Creative Director in New York, sparked a major controversy at the G.C.M. competition by giving Isabella—the daughter of her arch-enemy—a score of zero. Faced with
capitalist pressure and underhanded attacks from Victoria and Marcus, Sophie formed an alliance with Emma, Leo, and other victimized designers. At
the CFDA hearing, she used her adoptive father’s mementos and the foundation’s slush fund records to expose the Caldwell family’s true
nature—stealing others’ lives and exploiting newcomers—and personally sent her enemies to prison. Ultimately, she established an independent studio, restoring a clean future to the fashion industry.
