Rykiel, Sonia

Sonia Rykiel (1930-2016) started designing for her husband’s boutique, Laura, around 1962. In 1968 she opened the first Sonia Rykiel Boutique. Throughout the 1960s she was known for her snug-fitting sweaters and sweater dresses.

The label “Inscription Rykiel” dates from 1989. In 1999 it was changed to “Sonia/Sonia Rykiel.” She was known for her work in cotton velour and for putting the seams on the outside of garments.
