From growing up surrounded by tailored garments to running her own thriving fashion brand, Sophia Demirtas’s journey into design wasn’t exactly planned. She was raised in a culture that deeply valued the power of beautifully made clothing, but fashion wasn’t her first path. Sophia started out in social services, shaped by her own experiences in foster care. But after feeling disillusioned by how business-driven the field had become, she made a major pivot—one that led her to launch Fanm Mon. In this episode, Sophia shares how she turned her creative passion into a brand known for quality and craftsmanship, what it was like to move production from Ukraine to Turkey during the pandemic, and why a strong, supportive team matters so much. We also talk about heritage, sustainability, and the importance of preserving traditional crafts. Through it all, Sophia keeps coming back to the legacy of hardworking women who have inspired her every step of the way.
