The designer has been giving her significant and novel contribution to the premium stand-alone label since June 2009. Because of her creative direction and vision, the line has become a reference point for media and fashion enthusiasts in the modern fashion segment.

The designer's final collection for the brand will be showcased at NYC Fashion Week in September this year.

Along with her creative role at DBG, the designer also has her own eponymous label, which recently showcased in the Autumn/Winter 2012-13 collection in Paris. Additionally, her off-shoot bridal range is available on Net-A-Porter.

In the beginning of this year, Sophia designed an ethically aware collection ‘Kore’ for ASOS.com. The talented designer commands an enviable fan base that includes celebrities like Alexa Chung, Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson.
