Sophie Cheah
How did your interest in fashion begin?
My interest in fashion began from a young age. I vividly remember going shopping with my mother almost every weekend. Seeing her try on brands like Prada and Max Mara, I remember feeling in awe of the garments and thinking they were so beautiful.
How did you decide to pursue menswear?
I decided the pursue menswear because I felt like my aesthetic is better suited to the male form. I think menswear has a lot of areas yet to be explored and that excites me.
What is your favourite thing about living in London?
My favourite thing about living in London is the people and the energy the city has. I’m originally from Toronto, Canada which is quite liberal but London has a sense of creative freedom that Canada doesn’t give me.
What’s the best advice anyone has ever given you?
Be yourself.
What is your favourite and least favourite thing about social media?
My favourite thing is how easy it is to collaborate and ‘meet’ people from all over the world. My least favourite thing is probably the vanity of it all.
