Sophie Stokes is a blue-eyed, blonde-haired fashion model of British origin, currently represented by METRO Models — one of Europe's leading model agencies — based in Zurich, Switzerland. Born in Toddington, England, Sophie spent the formative years of her childhood and adolescence primarily in Spain, an upbringing that gave her a distinctly international sensibility and an ease across cultures that has served her well throughout her modeling career. Her entry into modeling came about organically — during a trip to London, she was scouted at the Westfield shopping centre, a discovery that would mark the beginning of a dynamic and rapidly evolving career.
Among Sophie's most prominent achievements is her appearance in the Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Perfume campaign — a global fragrance campaign that placed her alongside one of luxury fashion's most iconic scents. Beyond fragrance, her commercial work spans the worlds of luxury and lifestyle. She has worked for Kohler, the renowned American brand known for its sophisticated aesthetic, as well as Chopard, the prestigious Swiss watchmaker and jewellery house synonymous with Haute Horlogerie and high-end craftsmanship. Her collaboration with Parallèle Paris further demonstrates her versatility across different visual languages and markets. Sophie's portfolio also includes work for LucíaSeCasa, the Spanish bridal and lifestyle brand.
Sophie's editorial work has appeared in prominent international publications, most notably L'Officiel Kazakhstan. She has also worked with photographer Julia Keltsch for a notable editorial shoot published through METRO Models in August 2018, showcasing her range as a model — from moody, atmospheric portraiture to clean, commercial-ready fashion frames. In addition, Sophie undertook a series of test shoots documented on the METRO Models platform in May and June 2018, helping establish and refine her visual identity at the outset of her representation.
Sophie has spoken openly about the models who have shaped her sense of what is possible in the industry. Candice Swanepoel and Kate Moss stand as her two most significant points of reference — both representing very different but equally powerful archetypes of the modern model. For Sophie, these are not just names but benchmarks for the kind of career and impact she aspires to build through her own modeling work.
What makes Sophie Stokes distinctive is not only what she does in front of a camera, but who she is away from it. She has been passionate about horse riding since the age of five, going on to compete at a high level in showjumping. Over time, this passion evolved into a broader enthusiasm for motorcycles and motocross — a relatively unusual combination of interests that speaks to a personality thriving on speed, control, and the outdoors. Though the demands of international modeling have made consistent training difficult, Sophie has described the trade-off as entirely worthwhile.
Sophie is represented by METRO Models, a Zurich-based model agency founded in 2010 by David Ratmoko. What distinguishes METRO from other European model agencies is its philosophy around talent development — presenting models not only through their books and statistics, but through detailed biographies that highlight personality, education, and career achievements. Sophie was formally welcomed to the agency in April 2018, a partnership that has since produced a body of work spanning international campaigns, editorial shoots, and collaborations with celebrated photographers.
