FORME DE fluidité

As founder of FORME DE FLUIDITÉ, Architect SOPHIA XiNLI brings her design philosophy from architecture to fashion. Greatly inspired by the dynamism of geometric forms and how they shape our perceptions, Sophia designs with Space and Emptiness and executes with precise structure and tailoring. The brand creates timeless pieces that transcend trends and effectuate a lifestyle of spiritual self-exploration.

SOPHIA XINLI practiced as an architect in Shanghai and Hong Kong for more than 10 years.

She has been involved in a series of high profile architectural and interior projects as project leader, including the first Mercedes Me Store in Hong Kong and the award-winning Nan Wan clubhouse in Guangzhou, China.

Having painted since childhood, later developing an interest in photography, this along with her architectural design work has formed SOPHIA’s lifetime devotion to explore the implicit connection between physical form and spiritual perception.

SOPHIA’s passion for clothing design has been a natural progression from her architectural design work in which she had a love of form and detail. After determining to pursue her career in fashion she attended Central Saint Martins to ground herself in draping and then worked closely with experienced tailors to equip herself with essential pattern-making and sewing skills.

In 2020, SOPHIA founded FORME DE FLUiDITÉ as a more personal and spiritual platform to express her philosophy of design and aesthetics.
