Sofie D'Hoore was not born a designer: following in the footsteps of her father who was a doctor, she graduated in dentistry before studying at the Antwerp Academy. An irresistible mix of determination and creativity, the Belgian designer moved to Milan in 1992 and launched her first eponymous collection. Her signature style comes from the rigour and balance of the cut, which creates flowing, structured volumes. A sophisticated and demanding perfectionist, a unique and decisive touch, and a predilection for comfortable clothing and high quality fabrics that features in every collection.
