Who better to interview her, then than another black beauty and Paris-dwelling icon; the inimitable, invaluable fashion commentator (and instigator), Diane Pernet? Smash Hits goes Left Bank…
Diane Pernet: Tell me, Sonia, what are your views on sensuality?
Sonia Rykiel: It’s a word, an attitude, a knit sweater on a naked skin.
DP: Religion?
SR: I’m Russian Jewish but I have none.
DP: Romanticism?
SR: Secrets. Lies. I am a liar, like many artists…
DP: Darkness?

DP: Raw Street?
SR: Boulevard Saint Germain.
DP: Who are the people that helped to form who you are now?
SR: My family, and my men.
