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.

More quotes by Sonia Rykiel
I have the feeling I've always done what I wanted throughout my life.
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
Sometimes in the fashion industry we come across some unfair rules, but no one is obliged to follow them.
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
It's important to know yourself well, in order to create your own style of fashion to suit your own body shape.
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 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
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
It is a very important matter, as a woman, to juggle everything... Your professional life, family, children etc.
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
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
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
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
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
It doesn't matter one damn bit whether fashion is art or not. You don't question whether an incredible chef is an artist or not-his cakes are delicious and that's all that matters.
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
How can you live the high life if you do not wear the high heels?
Sonia Rykiel
