Sonia Rykiel Dies at 86
At the age of 86 years passed away fashion designer Sonia Rykiel, the founder of the eponymous French brand. The first branded boutique was opened in 1968 by Sonia Rykiel. From the beginning, Rykiel paid special attention to knitted things and things with stripes, which are still strongly associated with the brand. Sonia Rykiel — elusive benchmark of what we used to call “France is beautiful” — her style of dress, freedom, intelligence, and sex.
