On her ideal of happiness: "Being incredibly rich, living in Italy, cooking pizza barefoot and pregnant."

I'd rather be treated like any other model - being booked because a client likes the look of me, not because I'm size 16 with big tits. There's nothing sexual about model's typical androgynous skinniness.

To my detriment, I'm quite rosey-visioned about the idea of love. It's slightly embarrassing but it's part of who I am.
Paternal granddaughter of actor Stanley Holloway and former chorus girl Violet Lane (who she called 'Gee Gee').

Was first discovered by Isabella Blow, a Vogue stylist/fashion expert who also lived in Sophie's building. Sophie had just had an intense argument with her mother, and was sitting on the front steps of their apartment weeping. The two women (who up until that point were strangers) struck up a long conversation, and Isabella was awestruck by Sophie's beauty. Soon after, she referred Sophie to Sarah Doukas of the Storm modeling agency in London.
