Sonia Rykiel  
Born 1930 Paris, France  
“You can create fashion everywhere in the world, but the place where you are  
crowned is Paris.”  Sonia Rykiel  
Sonia Rykiel’s speciality is in knitwear, creating elegant, fluid, sensual garments in soft  
wools, jersey, angora and mohair. Favouring long clinging sweaters or cropped tops with  
large rolled back cuffs, she helped popularise the tailored, women's trouser suit.
