Perfume follows you it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.

More quotes by Sonia Rykiel
I married a man who was in fashion. I began to work when my daughter Nathalie was about eight or 10 years old. Then one day I began to make a sweater, and eventually the sweater was on the front page of Elle magazine. And the day after I was the queen of knit in America.
Sonia Rykiel
I think that there are so many women who understand nothing about clothes and they should try and understand themselves before they start putting on disguises: they should stand in front of the mirror for a day, two days or three, and find out what they have which is beautiful, interesting: what they should show: hair, neck, arms, or hands.
Sonia Rykiel
I love to leave, to be ready-for, to be on the run! That's my boyish side, it's the pant's me! Pants which allow for the attitudes, gestures and movements of a man but that are still female in taste and free enough so that I can slip my hands inside!
Sonia Rykiel
From the very beginning I've said to women not to follow the fashion rules blindly, and to adapt clothes to suit who they are, and not the contrary.
Sonia Rykiel
I was rather free, and I always did what I wanted to do, sometimes without listening to the people who warned me not to do this or that.
Sonia Rykiel
I have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.
Sonia Rykiel
It doesn't matter one damn bit whether fashion is art or not. You don't question whether an incredible chef is an artist or not-his cakes are delicious and that's all that matters.
Sonia Rykiel
I am still taking care of the creation of the collection alongside my staff, and my daughter Nathalie Rykiel, is the artistic director of Sonia Rykiel, who takes care of a lot of things. We are very alike and also very close.
Sonia Rykiel
For the collection, I am like a painter or a writer. I may or may not be a character in my own story.
Sonia Rykiel
I did not plan to have such a career in the fashion world. All that I wanted, was to have ten kids and raise them!
Sonia Rykiel
I think that clothes should be a shelter like a house or a rug. I think that there is that element of protection and a uniform can be just that.
Sonia Rykiel
Your body can be very female, which is something you can do nothing about, but then you can have the soul, the mind and the spirit of both male and female. The women friends I am closest to somehow have this masculine side to them, they shove their hands in their pockets when they walk: I love that side.
Sonia Rykiel
At hotels, you are an actress. Absolutely. You can do what you want. Go where you want. I love my home too. But I love to arrive in a hotel. They have books, chocolate, food. I put things in the little refrigerator.
Sonia Rykiel
I think in the darkest moments, we need a break.
Sonia Rykiel
Perfume is like a parenthesis, a moment of freedom, peace, love and sensuality in between the disturbances of modern living.
Sonia Rykiel
For me, luxury isn't just the real thing. It's also fake. Swarovski crystals or real diamonds? It's a game. You have to be luxurious nude.
Sonia Rykiel
It is a very important matter, as a woman, to juggle everything... Your professional life, family, children etc.
Sonia Rykiel
I love flinging everything I buy behind me onto the back-seat of the car: it's always full of packages when I travel, when I leap in my car!
Sonia Rykiel
The natures of men and women are very mixed and for me the most fascinating type of woman is the one who is a little masculine, has a little of the man in her, and the sort of man who is fabulous is the one who is a little woman too. It's impossible not to mix them!
Sonia Rykiel
Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow them.
Sonia Rykiel
