Background

She has Greek roots, with her father having been born in Ioannina.[3] She attended Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York,[4] and she graduated with degrees in art history and studio art. Zophres worked in the fashion industry for Norma Kamali and Esprit.[5] She was hired as the extras wardrobe supervisor for Oliver Stone's 1989 film Born on the Fourth of July, working under costume designer Judy Ruskin.[4][5] She subsequently worked as associate costume designer for Ruskin for three more films, including the 1991 film City Slickers. Zophres moved to Los Angeles and worked for designer Richard Hornung on three films, including the 1994 film The Hudsucker Proxy by the Coen brothers.
