More quotes by Sonia Rykiel
A very young girl, myself, and my 70-year-old mother all look quite different wearing some of the same clothes from my shop. The whole secret is to know how to do it and some people never will, just like some can't make light pastry: they are lacking in some sort of grace.
Sonia Rykiel
I was influenced by the hippie movement in San Francisco and by the feminist movement, which had arrived in Paris.
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 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 have the feeling I've always done what I wanted throughout my life.
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's important to know yourself well, in order to create your own style of fashion to suit your own body shape.
Sonia Rykiel
The key to my collections is sensuality.
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
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 think that the boy-woman is a very strong image and a lot of fascinating women are like that: Gala [Dalí].
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
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
My parents never mentioned anything about fashion in our household, instead we used to talk about literature, theatre, and arts...this is why I have kept a real relation with the Art world, by putting books from the beginning in my shops' windows.
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
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
Perfume is like a parenthesis, a moment of freedom, peace, love and sensuality in between the disturbances of modern living.
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
My shows are about the complete woman who swallows it all. It's a question of survival.
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.
