I just heard the news too. I adored her use of colour, and her love of stripes, and will always fondly remember my Sonia Rykiel black and white striped sweater with subtle red rim around the collar.

Sad...she'd been ill for years and she also had to sell her brand to a HK firm.
I remember itws of her, she was a big proponent of dressing for flattery, I remember her saying : start by looking hard at yourself in a mirror and decide what you can wear, wear trousers if your legs are no good...that kind of stuff.

I loved Sonia Rykiel. She knew how to cut a sleeve and armhole that was functional but oh, so flattering.

Her clothes were generally too bold for me, but I loved seeing them on others--especially Rykiel herself. She brought some of Sonia Delaunay's Paris-1920s pattern play to our time.

Yeah I loved Sonia too. She had a good innings and brought us some wonderful knitwear. No originals here but I still have a couple of classics from the H&M collection.

She had a defined style that was unique & worked.
I have a couple of her scarves. I love them.
