Background
After growing up in Warwickshire in the West Midlands Sophie moved to Liverpool to gain her First Class BA Hons Degree in Fashion Design, which concluded in her collection being selected to show at Graduate Fashion Week 2015 where she was nominated for the Gold Award, Textile Award, she won the George at ASDA womenswear design placement and had one of the outfits in her collection featured on the British Vogue social media accounts. Sophie’s work has also been featured by Mode Connect, Skinny Magazine and HARD Magazine as well as being part of a number of fashion shows. Sophie currently work as a junior watch designer where she design and manage her own branded accounts, and while doing this I also work as a freelance designer for a fashion consultancy working on a variety of fashion design projects. In the future I intend to develop more one-off high fashion garments as an extension of my graduate collection and build my own brand around that unique style.Info
