About Lookenly
The art of refined living
Hi, I'm Sophia Laurent
Welcome to Lookenly—a space I created for those who believe that style is not about following trends, but about discovering what truly resonates with your soul.
My Story
I grew up in the bustling heart of Paris, surrounded by the effortless elegance that defines French culture. My grandmother, a former couture seamstress for Dior in the 1960s, taught me that true style isn't found in price tags—it's in the way a garment makes you feel, the confidence it gives you when you walk into a room.
After studying fashion journalism at the Institut Français de la Mode, I spent nearly a decade working for international fashion magazines in Paris, Milan, and New York. I attended countless runway shows, interviewed legendary designers, and witnessed the industry's relentless pace firsthand. But somewhere along the way, I felt disconnected from what fashion meant to me personally.
In 2019, I made the decision to step away from the chaos and return to what I truly loved: sharing the quiet beauty of thoughtful living. I moved to a sun-drenched loft in Barcelona, and Lookenly was born—a digital haven where elegance meets authenticity.
Why I Write
I write because I believe that in a world of endless noise, we all crave spaces that feel calm, intentional, and real. Fashion shouldn't intimidate you—it should inspire you. Beauty shouldn't be about perfection—it should be about celebrating who you are.
Through Lookenly, I share the pieces, rituals, and ideas that have shaped my own journey toward a more refined, meaningful life. Whether it's the perfect linen blazer, a morning skincare routine, or simply the art of savoring a quiet afternoon with a good book—this is where timeless meets tangible.
What Inspires Me
Morning light streaming through linen curtains, the way it transforms an ordinary room into something sacred.

Vintage silk scarves from flea markets—each one with a story to tell.
The Mediterranean coast, where simplicity and beauty coexist effortlessly.
Women who own their presence—not through perfection, but through quiet confidence.
