In May 1968, Sonia Rykiel founded her label and opened a first boutique in Paris. She gained swift recognition for her soft sweaters - a liberated antithesis to strict '50s tailoring - and her inside-out seams. Sonia Rykiel created a unique style that is recognizable around the world, whose key words are black, stripes, lace and sweaters emblazoned with written messages.
Sonia by Sonia Rykiel was launched in 1990 as a smart, trendy little sister to the original line. Collections are a typically chic blend of striped and printed tops, slouchy oversized cardigans, quirky trenches and pretty dresses.
