More quotes by 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
Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow them.
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
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
The fashion industry can in a certain way be very hard and closed.
Sonia Rykiel
I have the feeling I've always done what I wanted throughout my life.
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
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
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 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
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
How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?
Sonia Rykiel
I have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.
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 key to my collections is sensuality.
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
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 think that the boy-woman is a very strong image and a lot of fascinating women are like that: Gala [DalĂ].
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
Perfume follows you it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.
