After spending several months going through the archive left to her and once the entire collection had been catalogued, both enthralled and inspired, Maria knew it was time to bring Sonia’s vision to light and life again.

Sonia Petroff was a highly respected accessories designer in the 1950’s 60’s and 70’s - right up until her retirement in 1990. Gaining notoriety especially with her RTW designs for Valentino, Balmain and Nina Ricci, Sonia’s story was one of adventure and glamour; a huge part of the social jet-set, she was a vivacious and bold woman, an independent trailblazer far ahead of her time.

The story of the legendary and iconic Couture Accessory Designer Sonia Petroff, is being told in 2019, thanks to business woman and creative entrepreneur

Maria Leoni-Sceti.
