Belgium designer Sofie D’Hoore was born and raised in an intellectual family in Antwerp. Her love for fashion started at a young age during the bi-annual trips to Paris with her mother. As her father was working in the medical industry, Sofie dutifully decided to study for dentist. During her studies, she kept on following everything that happened in the fashion industry. It might not surprise you that Sofie D'Hoore started at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp directly after her graduation, followed by the study Textile Engineering in Gent.
