More quotes by 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
After all these years of creating my collections, I still doubt my decision even until the last minute before the fashion show, I keep questioning myself and wondering if I did the right thing.
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
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
Perfume follows you it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.
Sonia Rykiel
The key to my collections is sensuality.
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 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
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
It's important to know yourself well, in order to create your own style of fashion to suit your own body shape.
Sonia Rykiel
How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?
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 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
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
I was influenced by the hippie movement in San Francisco and by the feminist movement, which had arrived in Paris.
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
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 have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.
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
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
