“For me, Sofitel is like a madeleine in memory (madeleine de Proust); it takes me back to my childhood, to legendary hotels, and a unique perspective on French luxury. Sofitel is not just a hotel brand; it is a lifestyle that blends natural elegance with an open view of the world. My main inspiration is ‘Paris’ because Paris embodies effortless luxury, cultural depth, meticulous tailoring, and bold creativity. I want to create a wardrobe that reflects Parisian identity, infused with the warmth of service and pride in one’s role. These garments are designed to be long-lasting, move with the body, and make everyone feel beautiful, confident, and proud of what they wear,” said Cordelia de Castellane.<\/span><\/p>
