Fashion WTF: Sonia Rykiel

I don’t even know where to begin…

Where are the ruffled dresses, floral and polka dot prints and the hounds tooth coats she is known for? Yes, she did put knitwear on the fashion map, but why use Raggedy Ann dolls and old wigs as fabric choices? And the superman getup? Wasn’t that so last season…

    I like the self-knitting idea.

    But that girl with the doll just ate my soul. I can’t look away.

    wasn’t the knit dress made by jean paul gaultier as a present for her?
    it was supposed to be a surprise or something.. either way, i loved her 40th anniversary spring collection.

    No worries, this was not Rykiel´s own collection but a parade of designs created in Sonya Rykiel’s image and her honor to fete her fortieth year in fashion. Including designs by Jean Paul Galthier, Castelbajac, Martin Margiela and many more.
