BIO – SOFIA DAVIS

SOFIA DAVIS – GLOBE CONTENT OFFICER

Sofia Davis is the Global Content Officer of Fashion Avenue News, along with 12 other magazines.  She is also a successful Fashion Week Show Producer.  She is a graduate of The Fashion Institute of Technology.  With an energy matched only by Oprah, she has created a Fashion Media Conglomerate.  Sofia has loved fashion from the time she could reach the Chanel No. 5 on her mother’s dresser.  Before attending FIT, she won the Uptown Saturday Night evening wear designer award with a Black Feathered “Bob Mackie” type Cocktail Dress.

Sofia noticed a need in the Fashion Industry to include models of all sizes, heights and weights, which lead her to create her own model management company.  She came to the attention of a Producer from the World Famous Apollo Theater and was hired as Director of the Apollo Models.  She held that title for 10 years.  Every Wednesday she would provide 15 models, hair stylists, fashion designers and makeup artists.  While at the Apollo she created BTE TV (Beauty Television & Entertainment).  The Fashion TV show aired daily reaching an audience of approximately 350,000 viewers.

Constantly looking to improve the quality of opportunities for fashion models of all sizes, in 2006, Sofia began publishing Fashion Avenue News magazine.  A GLOBAL, LUXURY BRAND, different from the rest.  She would feature UNKNOWN models of all sizes on the cover and in the editorials.  This was an instant hit, as local models and designers were looking for a platform.  Sofia explains “I never go after the celebrity, although we have had plenty on our covers, this magazine is for the undiscovered fashion industry talent”.

With the growth of Fashion Avenue News, from 0 to 870,00 (email subscribers) 4 years later she created Model World Magazine, a publication that focuses on models and their careers, a year after that she created The Fashion Dynasty, now renamed, One of a Kind Magazine, where people can embrace their Uniqueness – a lifestyle magazine that features numerous topics and editorials.  All of the publication can be purchased on Magzter.com, which is the largest global digital publication platform, reaching 46 MILLION as well as on www.FashionAvenueNews.com

Sofia is the Producer of Fashion on the Hudson, an independent Fashion Industry show similar to NY Fashion Week.  This show, now in its 23 year, registered over 32,000 attendees last year. 

Sofia is also known as the Black Anna Wintour and the First Lady of Fashion – always wearing her signature Sunglasses.  This lead her to create Bling Darling, a collection of Swarovski Embellished Couture Sunglasses, for people that love Bling.

Continuing her creative streak, she has created a line of beautiful garments, entitled, BODY GODDESS collection. This collection embraces women of all sizes, ages and heights. Unlike traditional on-line boutiques, The Body Goddess Collection has a physical location where woman can try on the collection before they purchase. The great idea about this is if one size does not fit, you can try on another size, or get another garment from the collection, whereas if you purchased on line you would have to return the garment, wait for the larger size and hope it fits. We want our customers to have a happy shopping experience, this why we developed our “Private Shopping” showroom.

Sofia has covered Fashion Weeks in New York, London, Paris & Milan and Black Paris Fashion Week.  She is known as the Fashion Mother as she is constantly mentoring models and designers.
