More quotes by 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
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 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
Perfume is like a parenthesis, a moment of freedom, peace, love and sensuality in between the disturbances of modern living.
Sonia Rykiel
Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow them.
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
I think that the boy-woman is a very strong image and a lot of fascinating women are like that: Gala [Dalí].
Sonia Rykiel
It is a very important matter, as a woman, to juggle everything... Your professional life, family, children etc.
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 have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.
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
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
How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?
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
I think in the darkest moments, we need a break.
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 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.
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 did not plan to have such a career in the fashion world. All that I wanted, was to have ten kids and raise them!
