More quotes by Sonia Rykiel
I don't like women who are multiform, who wear many different shapes. Women who retain a unique shape are usually unique people.
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
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
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
I hate the word feminine! I mean, there is a woman and a man and when I say woman it suggests all that is radiant, tender, fascinating, gentle, demoniac, exaggerated! Feminine makes me think of somebody who is spindly and over-sweet: I don't like that!
Sonia Rykiel
I have the feeling I've always done what I wanted throughout my life.
Sonia Rykiel
First I made a dress because I was pregnant and I wanted to be the most beautiful pregnant woman. Then I made a sweater because I wanted to have one that wasn't like anyone else's.
Sonia Rykiel
It is a very important matter, as a woman, to juggle everything... Your professional life, family, children etc.
Sonia Rykiel
The fashion industry can in a certain way be very hard and closed.
Sonia Rykiel
You know, the more grown-up you are, the more you like Proust.
Sonia Rykiel
We are not saying that all women should be thin like these very thin and young girls. We are creating a show, with its artistic codes and rules, and we have to try not to mix up all the codes together.
Sonia Rykiel
In the same way, I can wake up with a very positive idea of what I want to do for my collection, and be completely desperate at night regarding the same thing. And I do a lot of other things too: Writing for me is almost as important as drawing my collection.
Sonia Rykiel
I feel like a slave, and in a way like an artist, because I need to get inspiration everyday, from everything and everyone.
Sonia Rykiel
The fashion industry is a free world, with creative codes that can be hardly considered sometimes, but it's also up to women to create their own style, and own trend.
Sonia Rykiel
The essence of seduction for me in a man, although it stems from his rough, almost rough-neck looks, still contains something of the woman: he must be seductive and intelligent.
Sonia Rykiel
I couldn't have opened a store without putting books with the clothes. I am still writing as I have always done, and have published my ninth book L'envers à l'endroit last year. I am currently working on a dictionary of my favourite words.
Sonia Rykiel
Everything I do is really an expression of myself, through colors and shapes and, at the same time, I try to explain what I feel not only as a creator but also as a woman. I cannot separate one from the other.
Sonia Rykiel
How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?
Sonia Rykiel
