"My personal style is very much influenced by location, season and mood. I'm a summer girl so I love resort fashion. My family heritage is Italian and Croatian, so I'm very much inspired by Europe, travel, architecture, art and nature (in particular, flowers!)."
-Sophia Lenzo
2. Her go-to outfit when she's in a rush is typically a top and denim shorts or a short summer dress.

3. Sophia founded SOFIA The Label in 2016 at the age of 23:
"I had a strong desire to be my own boss and a dream to have a fashion empire. I am a big dreamer, but I am also a big doer. Since 2016 we have grown from strength to strength, expanding our team, stocking our brand in some fantastic brick-and-mortar stores around the world, and our styles have been embraced by some icons that we love, like Emily Ratajkowski."

7. When we asked Sophia about her favorite piece in her closet, she had a hard time picking just one:
