More quotes by 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
You know, the more grown-up you are, the more you like Proust.
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 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
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
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
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
Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow them.
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
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
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
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
The key to my collections is sensuality.
Sonia Rykiel
I think in the darkest moments, we need a break.
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
Perfume follows you it chases you and lingers behind you. It's a reference mark. Perfume makes silence talk.
Sonia Rykiel
I have the feeling I've always done what I wanted throughout my life.
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
It is a very important matter, as a woman, to juggle everything... Your professional life, family, children etc.
