DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT: SOFIE D'HOORE
Designer Spotlight: Sofie D’Hoore Spring/Summer 26
The latest Sofie D’Hoore Spring/Summer 26 arrivals at Riada Concept continue to refine what the brand does best — understated design, considered proportions, and pieces that prioritise ease without losing structure.
At the centre of the collection is a focus on oversized silhouettes. These aren’t exaggerated for effect, but carefully balanced — volume is controlled, cuts are precise, and each piece is designed to move naturally on the body. The result is clothing that feels relaxed, but still intentional.
Checks, Shirts, and Dresses
This season introduces a series of check patterns across pants, shirts, and dresses. The approach is subtle — pattern used as texture rather than statement — allowing the pieces to integrate easily into an existing wardrobe.
Check pants are cut with a soft, relaxed shape, offering movement without losing form. Paired with simple tops or lightweight knits, they become an easy everyday option.
Shirts follow the same logic. Slightly oversized, clean in construction, and designed to be worn loose or layered, they sit somewhere between tailored and relaxed — a balance that defines the collection.
Dresses continue this sense of ease. The silhouettes are fluid, often oversized, but anchored by thoughtful proportion. They’re designed to be worn simply — with minimal styling — allowing the cut and fabric to carry the look.
The Role of Oversized Silhouettes
Oversizing in Sofie D’Hoore isn’t trend-driven. It’s functional.
The volume creates space — both physically and visually — making each piece adaptable across different ways of wearing. A shirt can be worn open, layered, or styled on its own. A dress can shift from day to evening depending on how it’s styled.
This flexibility is what gives the collection longevity. The pieces aren’t fixed into one look — they evolve with how they’re worn.
What Makes Sofie D’Hoore Distinct
What sets Sofie D’Hoore apart is restraint.
There’s no reliance on heavy branding or overt detailing. Instead, the focus is on:
- fabric quality
- cut and proportion
- subtle design decisions
Each piece is designed to function within a wardrobe, not compete for attention. That’s what gives the collection its strength — it’s quietly directional, without feeling forced.
A Considered Wardrobe
The Spring/Summer 26 collection reflects a consistent approach: clothing that is easy to wear, adaptable, and built with intention.
At Riada Concept, these pieces sit naturally alongside tailored separates, lightweight outerwear, and refined basics — forming a wardrobe that prioritises longevity over trend.
The value isn’t just in how the pieces look, but in how they work — across different settings, seasons, and ways of wearing.
