Sofie Fella grew up in Shanghai and spent three years of her life in Hong Kong, tells the Post about her Big Collection brand
German national team rugby player Sofie Fella was sick of hearing her Chinese family say, “your legs are too big” and “your shoulders are too broad”, but rather than let those comments take hold, she made it her mission to flip the script on beauty standards.
Born in Germany to a Chinese mother and a German father, Fella grew up in Shanghai and is the founder of two initiatives aimed at normalising women's size and empowering them to discuss vulnerable topics like body image.
The 大 Collection, meaning the Big Collection in English, is a brand tackling gender stereotypes, especially ones aimed at Asian women, because of their size.
Fella’s other venture, Girls Lift Girls, is a community of women across sports and fitness, combining exercise with panels and discussions on similar issues.
