Not only One of the smoothest, classy, professional but the darling of Parisian designers. Not only is she iconic but when she walked and turned she showed what you were buying. She walked on air!
Sonia Cole was one of the hardest working girls on the catwalks mid 80’s into the 90’s. She was a staple at every Parisian couturiers’ house. A favorite and darling of YSL, Lacroix, Ferré, on and on... Her style was often imitated by incoming girls, but never attained by them to be authentic. She was a superior force of the highest level. Sonia was a superstar!
Sonia Cole is a stunning black-white mixed woman. Sonia Cole never got a Revlon or Pepsi Deal like Veronica Webb or Cindy Crawford! This means she was never as popular as the two names in the above paragraph! The problem is Yasmeen Ghauri.,Christy Turlington, Tyra Banks, Veronica Webb, Louise Vyent and Cindy Crawford came along and got all the press in Paris Milan,London and New York. The four world fashion capitals!
What a sophisticated walker. I don't know much about her. She is exotic and lady like, sweet and very gentle and considerate catwalker. Never in a rush, the photographers always get their shots. She shows the clothes perfectly too. Love the glances at people in the audience and the hands on her inner and outer hips move she does in the black dress.
Sonia Cole, was a constant on the catwalks in the mid to late 80's, and 90's. That walk, the serene look on her face, and the attitude that says you like it, but can't afford it. Love you girl!!!
I remember her in the big Paris, France shows! She was big for many years! A very attractive and stylish top, top, model! She did the Karl Lagerfeld Shows!
80s and 90s models were like runway performers on stage. Sonia Cole, Gurmit Kaur, Marpessa Hennink, Helena Barquilla, Naomi Campbell, Karen Mulder, Carla Bruni, Yasmeen Ghauri, etc. Such grace and sass.
You forget the big money ladies: Veronica Webb (Revlon), Cindy Crawford ( Revlon,Pepsi), Christy Turlington ( Calvin Klein), Helena Christensen, Louise Vyent, and Linda Evangelista
It's ridiculous how some young people today think that Naomi Campbell was the be-all end-all of runway walking. No dears, there were LOTS of great walkers in the late 80s/early 90s. Sonia was one of them. And she had a beautiful exotic look. Naomi by comparison looks very ordinary.
Yes ma'am....and amen!! Naomie C. was never my favorite, and I always thought she had okay features with an obviously beautiful figure, but she seemed so harsh in her mannerisms I just couldn't get past that. I just wasn't blown over by her, and she seemed extremely conceited. Now, Miss Sonia and her Crew back in their days just before the 90's girls took over were a whole other level of femininity and elegance...the last of it... you couldn't tell where any of these women were from. It was almost like they were all from some island populated by people with perfectly crafted genetic pools.
A total star. She is a biracial women from the United Kingdom ( England). She was what they call " high rent". A pretty mixed lady, she did all the high class European Designers ( Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Emmanuel Ungaro). She is the type of woman seen in Beverly Hills California shopping on Rodeo Drive. A total star in more upper echelon fashion circles.
Didn't know she's biracial. Sonia is a true class act. No one walks with such poise, grace and sophistication as she does. Miss her on the runways. She is still gorgeous to this day.
Действительно ,глядя на Соню кажется ,что именно она стала для Ясмин Гаури неким образцом походки на подиуме ,они похожи своей легкостью,пластичной кошачьейщ поступью,все движенья выверены ,а не от того как левая или правая нога захочет,-ничего лишнего,они обе паря т как бы воздухе,даже прически похожи
80s models and runway>>>>>>>>>90s models. Yasmeen Ghauri however was the best model on the planet. She too was actually a late 80s find. Sonia looks a bit like Yasmeen actually
Sonia is the stunning mixed ethnicity lady ( black-white genes). She was born in the United Kingdom ( pretty sure/ London). Sonia and Yasmeen Ghauri were associates! Yasmeen was the most beautiful ( on the planet) due to her Pakistani Dad! South Asians have the exotic features. Sonia was still in the top 10 most stylish and beautiful runaway ladies for about 5-8 years!
She might not have been dubbed a supermodel but she was much more than that. She was a household name that every luxurious couture house wanted in their casting. She had one of the most iconic walks ever and walked better than 3/4 of the so called supermodels. Sonia is an icon with more than 16 years of runway career. The real deal. Have a good day mate!
@@goldenage323 Household name? Sure,she's right up there with Claudia Schiffer, Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, she had hundred's of magazine covers, starred in major ad campaigns... Oh, wait....
@@fred8433 well, mentioning Claudia and Cindy is funny in this context. We both know they barely can walk the runway. Claudia wouldn't have had the career she had if Ines hadn't been fired by Chanel and Karl needed a replacement. As for Cindy, she spent a good 8 years working before she was noticed by any major fashion house. Naomi is the only one in your list that fits the real supermodel box. Sonia on the other hand, was immediately taken by YSL, Dior, Chanel, Versace and many others, as soon as she started modeling. She did ads for YSL, Scherrer, Valentino and many others. She worked for more than 16 years in the modeling industry. If she didn't have a designer to back her up like Karl did for Claudia or Gianni and Azzedine did for Naomi, doesn't mean that she's any less value.
@@goldenage323 Enough already. Sonia was strictly a RUNWAY model, a great one maybe but not anymore than that. Claudia Schiffer had already done a ton of magazine covers AND a major campaign for Guess? jeans before she started working for Chanel. In the fashion industry photographic work has a lot more prestige than runway that's why up until the late 80's most top models didn't even bother with runway. They only started doing runway when Versace started paying them a ton of money.
@@fred8433 When Claudia did it, Guess campaigns hadn't acquited iconic status yet. Guess ads took off when Claudia gained fame later on and the brand embraced the opportunity to market themseleves with the Marciano campaigns. And by saying runway modeling wasn't prestigious, you're basically bashing legendary models such as Dalma, Jerry Hall, Iman, Katoucha, Marpessa, Pat Cleveland, Mounia, Kirat and many others, most of which enjoyed unprecedented stardom on the runways, but didn't work much in the printed field. Please, check your facts and stop spreading hate. If we keep talking about Sonia, Claudia, Cindy and Naomi nowadays, it is because they were all iconic and memorable in their own way. No one needs to fit in a specific box to succeed. We're in a negativity-free vibe here.

Sonia was a "big" fashion show performer in Europe. I remember seeing more of her in Paris,France with Laurent,Ungaro, Lagerfeld and other haute couture designers. The big name models subsist off coffee and yogurt. Many have freakish bodies to be able to fit those small cut garments. They are under extreme pressure not to gain weight for the years they model ( that is why many have eating disorders)!

She was one of the best. No one came close to her signature walk. Only Katoucha, Jerry, Karen and Yasmeen could compete with iconic Sonia 💕

Cómo Yasmeen Ghauri ninguna
La 'CLASE , ELEGANCIA Y PROFESIONALISMO DE SONIA" No la tendrá: ninguna modelo en la actualidad.

Jealousy kills you, by the way who are you to judge on beauty and catwalk?
Yasmeen Ghauri, Karen Mulder, Helena Christenson, Gurmit Kaur et al - Walkers...Greetings from Nottingham, England, UK 🇬🇧
Yes ma'am....and amen!! Naomie C. was never my favorite, and I always thought she had okay features with an obviously beautiful figure, but she seemed so harsh in her mannerisms I just couldn't get past that.

Why, can't we go back to this fashion era. This was beauty, class, sophistication
I worked for Valentino from 1988-1992 and she was the best.
I can watching her catwalk endless!!! She is beautiful and one of most sophisticated model of 90th! I love you Sonia 😍😍😘
I remember her well. But never knew her name. Beautiful elegant walk. Not many better.
One word ... Classy! 💋💋💋💋
Wow! At first I thought it was Yasmeen Ghauri. I’m so glad I watched this video, she’s exceptional!
Yes....so similar in their looks and figure. Elegance too. But Sonia was before her.
🔥🔥🏆 Best ever.
A total star. She is a biracial women from the United Kingdom ( England). She was what they call " high rent".
A pretty mixed lady, she did all the high class European Designers ( Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Emmanuel Ungaro).

I luv her. So elegant and ladylike on the runways. Any interviews with here??
Unfortunately can't find any.
Stunning sophisticated elegant Queen of catwalk❤
