This year, Starbucks celebrates 40 years of coffee, culture and the continued evolution into a global iconic brand. To mark this occasion, Starbucks invited Alexander Wang, Sophie Theallet, and Billy Reid, the recipients of the past three annual CFDA/VOGUE FASHION FUND awards, to design a line of exclusive T-shirts inspired by the brand.

As a frequent collaborator with the design and artist community, Starbucks is proud to be a supporter of the CFDA/VOGUE FASHION FUND (CVFF). CVFF gives annual grants that provide resources to support and encourage the goals of emerging designers.

Sophie Theallet creates clothes that stand alone in today's Fashion. The only path she follows is her own, as each new collection is an evolution of the last, built around Sophie's singular vision and mastery of craft. Her signature is a panaché of femininity and ease, sensuality and craftsmanship that is instantly recognizable. Like Sophie herself, the collections have a undeniably French accent, but also exude a freedom of spirit that transcends all borders - luxury clothing whose universal appeal lies in its unique point of view.

Alexander Wang is an American fashion designer who was born in 1984. As a Native California, Alex was born and raised in San Francisco and has a Chinese-American family heritage. At the age of 18, he moved to New York City where he attended Parsons Design School and partook in a variety of internships.
