American model and fashion designer Sofia Richie is a rising star in the fashion industry. As the daughter of iconic singer Lionel Richie and little sister of A-List celebrity Nicole Richie, she is stepping out of the shadow of her famous family to become a sought-after model and household name in her own right. Richie has walked the catwalk for the likes of Dolce & Gabbanna, Chanel, Jeremy Scott and Kanye West’s Yeezy line, and was chosen by Madonna as the face of the legendary singer’s Material Girl line. She has starred in numerous high profile advertising campaigns for leading brands including Tommy Hilfiger, Chanel, Adidas, Pretty Little Thing and Michael Kors, and has graced the covers of countless top fashion magazines including UK’s Tatler and Japan’s Vogue. Richie has also amassed a huge online following, with over 5.4 million followers on Instagram.
Richie kicked off her modelling career at the age of 14, when she appeared in a feature in Teen Vogue, and signed to top London-based agency Select Model management two years later. She soon began to appear in editorials for the likes of Nylon, Elle Girl and Dazed before making her runway debut during New York Fashion Week at the American Heart Association’s Go Red For Women Red Dress Collection fashion show in 2016. Since then her modelling career has been on an unstoppable rise, and she has also started to work as a fashion designer, collaborating on a stunning swimwear collection for Frankie’s Bikinis and launching Sofia Richie x Missguided for UK-based multi-channel retailer Missguided. With the fashion world now at her feet, the future looks bright for the multi-talented Richie.
