A JOURNEY FROM ARCHITECTURE TO FASHION.
FORME DE FLUIDITÉ is a womenswear designer brand for daily occasions founded by architect, Sophia XiNLI. The brand’s creations merge structural form and sensuous texture inspired by art and architecture, evoking a sense of edgy and artistic wonder. With a passion for exploring the implicit intertwining of form and emotion the brand challenges the traditionally accepted role of daily clothing to arouse the wearer’s aesthetic resonance and express an alternative approach of contemporary femininity.
Sophia XiNLI
The founder of FORME DE FLUIDITÉ, practised 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 became apprentice to an experienced tailor 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.
