Sonia Rykiel
PARIS, October 6, 2006 - To the soundtrack of "Histoire d'Amour", Sonia
Rykiel sent out a light, playful collection for spring. Super feminine, rive
gauche Bohemian, coquettish to the core, Rykiel's clothes are Paris at its
finest. Program notes spoke of "a real woman, and not her shadow in total
symbiosis with her Creator", but any sort of sacred reading of the pieces
ended there. What passed down the catwalk were shapely striped dresses tied
up with bows, a cleanly cut simple white cape, dusty rose chiffon pieces with
their scallops meticulously worked out, a coat of fluffy plumes. For evening,
silver lamé was de rigeur, but even that was blushing with pink chiffon. The
finale of multi-colored solid stretch dresses imprinted with various facial
expressions came off as one final tease.
