I don't like women who are multiform, who wear many different shapes. Women who retain a unique shape are usually unique people.

More quotes by Sonia Rykiel
Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow 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
You know, the more grown-up you are, the more you like Proust.
Sonia Rykiel
I have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.
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
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
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
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
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
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
It's important to know yourself well, in order to create your own style of fashion to suit your own body shape.
Sonia Rykiel
I was influenced by the hippie movement in San Francisco and by the feminist movement, which had arrived in Paris.
Sonia Rykiel
I think that the boy-woman is a very strong image and a lot of fascinating women are like that: Gala [Dalí].
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
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 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
Perfume follows you it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.
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
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
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
