Since founding her eponymous label, Sofie D’Hoore has championed longevity and wearability, creating strong, understated clothes that are meant to be worn and re-worn, season after season. In terms of her designs, it manifests itself in her constant search for refinement in what have become the hallmarks of her success: cut, colour and finish. The Sofie D’Hoore collection is informed by a constant flux of films, books, the arts – paintings, sculptures or even a porcelain cup thrifted abroad and stuffed away in a suitcase – and extended visits to museums. In its core, a boundless curiosity for artisanship in all its forms.
