was destined to send out to reshape the reputation of London as a credible fashion capital. But Sophia, who was born in 1972, had arrived from Greece already 100 percent certain of who she was and what she wanted to do. “I was ready to abandon my home, my country, my lifestyle, my everything, to get in,” she once told me. “I thought my life would end if I didn’t get in.
Tall and statuesque, a blonde goddess in a black leather jacket, Sophia did exactly that in 1999. Her collections, which simultaneously summoned the dignity of ancient powers and channeled hot female rockstar energy, quickly attracted international attention.
At the time, as a friend, I could see that even though she was throwing all her energy behind this project, it was not a period when she was in the best of health. Some time earlier, she had mentioned to me that she had first come to London when she was being treated for a childhood illness. She was always discreet about this; she lived with it and got on with it in such a way that nothing would prevent her from seizing the most that life could offer.
