About

The Maker

Sophie is a fashion designer and pattern maker based in Melbourne. She has been in the industry for the past 30 years in various roles across recognised fashion labels, and currently continues work as a freelance pattern maker alongside her statement headpieces. Sophie’s experience and knowledge allows her to experiment with different materials and new ways of making, resulting in unique, one-of-a-kind headpieces.

SMEM Pieces

Sophie has created ‘SMEM’ flowers and hats. These are original pieces that appear throughout the collection. SMEM flowers are hand cut from plastic, each piece in the flower is hand cut and shaped by Sophie. Please note that these flowers are sharp and are not suitable for young children.

For every SMEM hat purchase, Sophie M Em will make a donation to the Leukemia foundation (20% of sale).

Statement Headpieces

Designed and handcrafted in Melbourne, Sophie M Em represents the everyday magic that contemporary headwear embodies. Each piece conveys the spirit of timeless elegance fused with a passion for modern shapes and style that make a statement for every occasion.

In creating evocative and striking pieces, Sophie M Em uses a wide range of resources. Found jewels and recycled plastic are used where possible, as well as high grade laces, silks and other materials to create the contemporary and luxurious headwear.
