Sofitel has introduced LeVestiaire, a Parisian-inspired wardrobe redefining the art of luxury, by French designer Cordelia de Castellane.
Inspired by the spirit of Paris, Sofitel, a pioneer of French luxury hospitality since 1964, introduces LeVestiaire, a global wardrobe created as a statement of style and self-expression. Created in collaboration with French designer Cordelia de Castellane, the global collection blends couture sensibility with everyday sophistication, a mix-and-match expression of elegance designed for Sofitel’s world of modern luxury. The new collection, LeVestiaire, empowers Sofitel’s 25,000 employees from Front Office to Housekeeping to proudly dress with individuality and ease, reflecting the effortless chic of French style.
From refined tailoring to pieces enriched with Sofitel’s hand-drawn prints and monogram, the collection weaves the brand’s identity into every detail. Designed for inclusivity and ease, it balances modern comfort with French zest, adapting seamlessly to cultures, climates and hotel personalities across the globe.
Sofitel’s new LeVestiaire will begin rolling out in the 120 hotels worldwide from the end of 2026.
Comprising more than 45 pieces and a curated selection of refined accessories, LeVestiaire captures the creative, cosmopolitan spirit of Paris, where elegance is never uniform, and individuality is always in style. Designed with versatility at its core, the collection enables each Sofitel hotel, resort, and residence, from Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk to Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi and Sofitel Bali Nusa Dua, to curate a wardrobe fitting the local culture while maintaining Sofitel’s signature French elegance.
With silhouettes designed to adapt to each culture, climate, and character, LeVestiaire offers one wardrobe with thousands of possibilities. Sofitel employees are empowered to curate their own “vestiaire”, freely mixing and matching a range of versatile pieces to create silhouettes suiting different body shapes, personal preferences, and levels of comfort, a true celebration of individuality across the Sofitel world. For example, the Gilet Cintré is available in a sleeveless version and can be effortlessly paired with either pleated trousers or a midi skirt. More than attire, this mix-and-match collection reflects Sofitel’s belief that true luxury is personal.
“We are entering a moment when Sofitel has fully regained its pride, at a time when so many of our hotels are being beautifully renovated, such as Sofitel New York, Sofitel Montreal Golden Mile, and many more, and when new Sofitel properties are opening around the world as true flagships of the brand,” said Maud Bailly, CEO of Sofitel, MGallery and Emblems.
“It was essential to me that our teams, the very essence of luxury, could also benefit from this new era of beauty. It felt only natural that they should shine more than ever. I am delighted by this collaboration with Cordelia de Castellane, who has perfectly captured the spirit of a refined, timeless wardrobe, celebrating French elegance and luxury.”
Iconic French designer Cordelia de Castellane channels timeless Parisian style in LeVestiaire, shaped by a career steeped in French couture and the exceptional savoir-faire of the ateliers where she perfected her craft. A true Parisienne with a cosmopolitan spirit, de Castellane’s lifestyle and curiosity for other cultures continually inspire her work. Designing her first global uniform collection was both a creative challenge and an intimate collaboration. Immersing herself in workshops and fittings with Sofitel’s employees, she explored comfort, movement, and personal expression, ensuring the collection resonates across diverse silhouettes, cultures, and roles. Timeless cuts, tactile fabrics, and expressive hues define the collection, with each piece crafted to move seamlessly between formality and ease.
The result is a modern interpretation of the French art de vivre, refined, spirited, and beautifully attuned to the people who wear it. A harmonious palette of navy blue, coconut milk, beige, and denim blue anchors the collection, chosen for its timeless appeal and its ability to complement every complexion and environment. Tailored silhouettes are enhanced by expressive accessories, including belts and scarf brooches, that subtly feature the Cultural Link, Sofitel’s iconic logo symbolising a bridge between cultures.
In parallel, the graphic Sofitel logo is reinterpreted through a series of exclusive monogram prints, woven into scarves, shirts, dresses, and ties, transforming the brand’s visual signature into a refined and luxurious design language.
"The idea is simple: pick and choose a look that fits the right place and the right position. Most importantly, I knew I didn’t want to lock people into a specific uniform. Sofitel is a great French brand that has set out on an adventure and has truly established a legacy," said Cordelia de Castellane, French fashion designer.
“This collaboration felt very natural because we share the same values: a love of beauty, attention to detail and a deep respect for craftsmanship and comfort. Together, we created a vestiaire that speaks the language of Sofitel’s luxury hospitality: warm, refined and effortlessly French.”
De Castellane said fashion is never neutral, and it can influence the mood every day. She wanted these pieces to feel positive and reassuring, clothes that support people emotionally as much as visually, and that reflect the warmth and elegance of Sofitel’s hospitality.
“What I love about Sofitel is its ability to honour its French heritage while constantly evolving. This collaboration was about finding that balance, by creating a modern vestiaire that respects tradition, craftsmanship and the elegance that has become part of the brand’s DNA,” said Cordelia de Castellane.
“Designing for this collaboration meant I was able to translate that luxurious, French spirit of Sofitel into silhouettes that are both timeless and contemporary, with a sense of ease that reflects the way people truly move and work.”
