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 RykielAs a slave [to fashion], I can be very dramatic and very demanding of myself and of the people I work with.
Sonia RykielFashion is also a form of art, and like every kind of art, it has its own way of expression. In other words, if a dress looks better on a thin girl, on a catwalk, during a very specific moment of time and space then it's represented as part of a "fashion Show". It is after all a "Show" and it has to be understood by people that it is a "show" and not real life.
Sonia RykielI 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!
