Only a handful of people get to really appreciate the world of fashion as an art form, and Sofia Jahrling is, no doubt, one of them. Designing and styling clothes were hobbies she picked up as a kid, and she didn't stop until it became a full-blown passion. “I would make collections using the drawing sheets of Fashion Angels. Shopping for clothes and thinking of what to pair them with is something I was fond of doing.”
Sofia says that some of the people who inspire her style are Camila Coelho, Kendall Jenner, and Aimee Song. In the future, she dreams of getting invited to fashion week events in sartorial hotspots like New York and Paris. Sofia may dream big, but she’s just as hardworking and determined to pursue her passions. “I am an achiever of goals. I make sure that I work hard to pursue my dreams.”
