ALICE SOFIA

With her cool and unique appeal, former gymnast Alice Sofia was born in Padova, Italy. Nature-lover, traveller and dreamer of life experiences, Alice has quite a creative vision of her reality. She was surrounded with art from when she was a child, as her father is a painter for hobby. Alice continues her artistic passion through drawings and talent for tattooing. She attended classes at Ca Foscari in Venice where she graduated in Contemporary Art Economics and Management. Alice practically stumbled onto the fashion scene by chance when a photographer laid eyes on her and quickly had her in front of his lense for the Winter 2017 advertising production for ALL SAINTS. The following year, Juergen Teller shot Alice for VALENTINO Resort 2019 advertising campaign. Alice was soon shooting editorials for publications including Vogue Netherlands, Vogue Russia, Vogue Italia, Flaunt, Puss Puss and a cover story for Lampoon Magazine. Other advertising credits added include COACH with Nick Riley Bentham, LA PERLA with Catherine Servel and VERSACE JEAN COUTURE SS20. Alice found yet another creative outlet during the devastating pandemic lockdown of this year. She realized her passion for crochet. So, together with mom, they researched a few tutorials on the web and began their new journey. Before Alice knew what hit her, just 1 post on IG of her first knitted hat turned into creating designs for followers from France to Swizterland and even USA. RatHat became so "hot" that fashion editors started requesting these unique accessories for editorials throughout fashion publications. Alice Sofia's latest designer collaboration is with Gucci Vault....
