Sophie Buhai

Sophie Buhai is a designer living and working in Los Angeles.

Her namesake jewellery collection, established in 2015, has renewed the modernist tradition of solid sterling silver with an emphasis on sculptural silhouettes of substantial weight. Each piece is made by hand in Los Angeles by master artisans using recycled metals to minimize environmental impact. Her signature silver pieces comprise the line's permanent collection—a series of modern classics that transcend seasons and trends.

Beyond these hallmarks, Sophie continues to experiment with material and form in her limited-edition seasonal collections, incorporating gold, pearls, semi-precious stones, and leather to explore themes of surrealism and primitivism.

Prior to establishing her Los Angeles studio, she spent a decade as co-creative director of the womenswear brand Vena Cava, a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund runner-up, in New York City. She is a graduate of Parsons School of Design.

For three seasons, Sophie also designed the collection jewellery for the French fashion house Lemaire, a collaboration which was shown on the runway at Paris Fashion Week.
