“I am moved by the sincerity and journey of each of these creators”

Madame Figaro . – When discussing with young designers, you told them how happy you were to be an ambassador of the LVMH Prize this year. What does this award mean to you?
Sophia Turner. – The LVMH Prize is much more than an event, because at stake are the futures of young people who have dedicated their lives to what they believe in. I am moved by the sincerity and journey of each of these creators. We feel in them an urgency to create, but also an awareness that we are ready to carry out missions that require extreme demands. This prize is a pool of ideas that inspires, stimulates creativity and forces one to win over others zeitgeist the spirit of the times.

Do you know Delphine Arnault? a long time ago?
Delphine is a powerful woman who is developing in the high fields of fashion. When I met him in 2016, I was scared. I was wrong because she’s warm and loves to share her intense take on fashion. I watched him a lot during discussions with young designers. he scrutinizes their origins and asks pertinent questions about every detail of the work. I love his persistence in wanting to discover tomorrow’s talents and avant-garde designers.

What do you like about Louis Vuitton, of which you are one of the muses?
The enthusiasm and collective spirit of the Louis Vuitton workshop, made up of twenty passionate employees, opened in 1859, five years after Louis Vuitton founded the house. I love the commitment that comes with creating, no doubt because I’ve always worked in my life. Then there’s Nicolas Ghesquière’s exceptional touch. Her structured features give the woman the warrior look I recognize myself in. The most incredible of all the dresses she made for me was inspired by the architecture of the Center Pompidou. It is a spectacular embroidery, which required more than 90,000 sequins in 18 different colors.

Which LVMH Prize young designers caught your eye?
Burc Akyol’s work won me over. He is a French designer of Turkish origin, who was introduced to his craft by his tailor father. She is a graduate of the French Fashion Institute and launched her own label in 2019. She draws inspiration from the people she meets on her travels, and her wardrobes are whimsical and filled with traditional haute couture details. Overall, I loved the freedom of dialogue between women’s and men’s wardrobes and how these designers put eco-responsibility at the heart of their approach.

“When I was a teenager, I played as a game”

You started your career so young that sometimes we forget that you are only 27 years old years. Would you like to live longer in a carefree age?
I find it difficult to remember the carefree age, because I entered show business at the age of 13. But I retained a sense of wonder. When I was a teenager, I saw acting as a game. It’s strange to say, but there were never any boundaries between Sansa Stark, the character who discovered me; Game Of Thrones, and me. Science explains that until the age of 20, the brain does not distinguish between the imaginary and the real. I felt every emotion of this character and he will always be a part of me.

I always find it very interesting how our identity changes depending on the country we are in.

Do you travel a lot? Do you have the impression that globalization is gradually erasing the differences in style from one country to another?
On the contrary, I always find it very interesting how our identity changes depending on the country we are in. In Miami, where I live part time, I wear light dresses, play with transparent, very feminine codes. In Paris, I embrace luxury without effort dear Parisien. New York and London, my other favorite cities, inspire me to wear grunge looks and graphic elements: a big Art Deco long necklace, a beret, a vintage Vuitton belt.

What did you like about the character you play in the series? Ladder and what are your plans?
the script of Ladder is based on the true story of writer Michael Peterson (Colin Firth), who murdered his wife. I play a cameo role, the role of Margaret Ratliff, his daughter, for whom I have documented a lot. I liked this realistic side and my projects in film are going in the same direction…

Your Instagram account has almost 15 million followers. Do you believe that social networks will one day dictate fashion codes?
It already is, isn’t it? But it depends on the codes you are referring to. The thing about social media is that they transmit micro trends which only lasts a few months. The mind is stimulated not too much. The fashion codes I’m interested in are the ones that put the mind at ease because they’re perennial, like art. I love pieces that I can wear in twenty years and pass down to my daughters.
