was destined to send out to reshape the reputation of London as a credible fashion capital. But Sophia, who was born in 1972, had arrived from Greece already 100 percent certain of who she was and what she wanted to do. “I was ready to abandon my home, my country, my lifestyle, my everything, to get in,” she once told me. “I thought my life would end if I didn’t get in.

She was always discreet about this; she lived with it and got on with it in such a way that nothing would prevent her from seizing the most that life could offer.
