Sonia Rykiel's own label achieved instant acclaim from its inception in 1968. She created decorative features that transformed knitwear into fashion: no-hem and "unlined" pieces, boldstripes, lace, rhinestones and sweaters with written messages.These looks all reflected her philosophy of la d?mode, or "un-fashion" which abolished total-look 'diktats' in favour of a wardrobe adapted to a woman 's individual personality. This is the most exhaustive survey of the work of one of the most important names in modern fashion. This sumptuous book is a celebration of the iconic French designer's lifetime of fully 80 seasonal collections - 40 years of triumph and fashion. Interlaced with remarkable anecdotes and reminiscences alongside candid photos by acclaimed photographers Dominique Issermann and Sarah Moon, this book contains images from official Sonia Rykiel ad campaigns as they appeared in leading fashion publications such as Vogue, Elle, and Marie-Claire, as well as runway scenes and entire fashion collections.
