I was influenced by the hippie movement in San Francisco and by the feminist movement, which had arrived in Paris.
Sonia RykielI 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 RykielI 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 RykielI 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.
