"Fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." Coco Chanel
As we enter the new year of a new decade, I'm struck by a number of things.. one is I'm starting this blog very late! If you'd have walked with me earlier, you'd have started at an unknown Welsh bay along the North Wales coast, before travelling through Europe to the Southern hemisphere, up into tiny medieval hill top towns, through continents, into forests and deserts. You'd have crossed the tropic of cancer, before finally heading back to England through historic Lancashire cotton mill and silk weaving villages, ultimately arriving at our studio in the heart of Manchester's old textile trading centre. It's been an amazing journey and I'd like you to join us in the fun!
In three years Sophia Couture has moved from being an idea borne from visiting artisans and desert communities in different parts of the world, into a social enterprise that embeds luxury materials and lasting design with the skills our grandmothers took for granted, though they're all but lost to us.
While the last couple of decades have given us throw away, one season clothing, how many of us have that favourate item, we keep pulling out of the wardrobe, because we love it? How often do we find only three colours in that same wardrobe, because we don't have access to the softer, subtle shades, found in organic or environmentally friendly dyeing processes?...And do you like me appreciate wearing something that has quality, beauty and individuality in one item? If so, maybe this was the time to start this blog after all! Adriana Galimberti-Rennie
