Cecilia Sörensen
Fashion Designer
Cecilia Sörensen is a Finnish-born fashion designer who established her company in Barcelona in 2002. Sörensen studied tailoring and dressmaking in her native Helsinki. She then moved to the UK to pursue further studies at the Southampton Institute but finally obtained her BA with Honours from EATM, Barcelona/Southampton University.
After her graduation in 2001, Sörensen worked for designer Antonio Miró, continuing then to set out on her own, launching her own brand: the women’s wear collection Cecilia Sörensen and Pequeños Héroes, a line made of recycled materials. Her recognition as one of the most promising revelations in the Barcelona fashion-design scene was immediate; just one year after her graduation, in 2002, Sörensen became awarded with the ‘Young Designer of the Year’, ModaFAD Prize.
Cecilia Sörensen has presented her collection several times at Fashion Weeks in Barcelona, Madrid, Berlin, London, Stockholm, Tokyo and Paris. 2008 brought more international acknowledgement: 'Inside Out', a video based on her S/S 09 collection, was premiered at the London Fashion Week and on the online fashion platform SHOWstudio, while at the end of the year 2008, Sörensen won the ‘Barcelona Es Moda’ Prize.
Besides running her own company, Cecilia Sörensen has been a founding member of the collective designer’s shops Comitè, Bingo Shop and the concept store Still Light in Barcelona. Sörensen launched a new kid's wear collection, Mis Crios.
