Paris, France – International fashion model Sofia Miagkikh made a groundbreaking announcement during Haute Couture Week, revealing the upcoming launch of a platform focused on women’s empowerment. The initiative, set to begin in the Gulf region, aims to provide relatable role models for young women facing the challenge of limited representation.
In a recent interview, Miagkikh stated, “A record number of women have become visible across business, media, and creative industries – and yet that has created an equally large number of young women seeking role models who reflect both ambition and their cultural identity.”
With a strong following on social media, Miagkikh has built a reputation for coaching and encouraging women with practical guidance on confidence, mindset, presentation, and self-discipline. Her content has resonated particularly with audiences in Qatar and Saudi Arabia, who are seeking modern opportunities while staying true to conservative values.
Miagkikh’s platform is rooted in the belief that sustainable empowerment is achieved through practical and culturally aware approaches. Rather than promoting polarizing narratives, her focus is on personal development, professional readiness, and positive representation.
Despite her young age, Miagkikh has established herself in the international fashion industry through editorial milestones and collaborations with luxury fashion and jewelry houses such as Armani, Bvlgari, and Ferragamo. She credits these experiences for shaping her worldview and strengthening her commitment to supporting women – especially young women – in navigating public life, ambition, and identity with clarity and dignity.
“Fashion taught me that confidence is not something you perform – it’s something you build,” Miagkikh shared. “I want young women in the Gulf to feel they can grow, be seen, and succeed without compromising who they are or what they value. Through this initiative, I am working with a group of influential global and regional stakeholders, including visionaries such as Princess Reema Al Saud and Sheikha Al Mayassa Al Thani, to make a positive impact for women all over the world.”
As part of the platform’s launch, Miagkikh has begun media collaborations to use her voice and catalyze a broader movement. The platform will bring together a network of thought leaders in the industry, hosting events and international collaborations to provide exposure to positive role models for women from all over the world. This will help them develop their skills and make a difference in their local communities while maintaining their individual values and beliefs.
