Sonia Rykiel a French fashion designer died...

The famous Sonia Rykiel, a French fashion designer, passed away this week. She was 86 years old. A pioneer of Parisian womenswear from the late 1960s onwards.

Sonia Rykiel opened her first store in Paris in 1968 on the Left Bank. Despite becoming synonymous with knitwear, casual-chic and the infamous “poor boy” sweaters – fitted ribbed jumpers with raised armholes that narrowed the torso and shoulders – her legacy is more focused on pioneering womenswear at a time when women were expected to wear sombre tones and skirts. 

Regularly compared with Coco Chanel, both designers famously eschewed couture in favour of ready-to-wear clothes, encouraged women to wear trousers, made stripes a signature look and helped carve out Paris as a major player on the modern fashion map. 

Her manifesto urged “women to be eccentric, seductive, mysterious, and to create their own style”.
