Sonia by Sonia Rykiel Pre-Fall 2015

By Miles Socha

Sonia Rykiel’s claim on the Left Bank Parisian and her je ne sais quoi extends to this contemporary range, whose pre-fall lineup takes on a less thrown-together, more sophisticated style.

The design team turned out three broadly interpreted groupings: abstracted tuxedo dressing, pepped-up army fatigues and playful takes on what’s considered “bad taste” — as in loud jewelry prints and gaudy embroideries. Unifying it all were defined waists and an offhand approach to luxury, as in a striped leather perfecto propped on the shoulders.

I'm bored, though

Sorta Rykiel-ish but still not enough for me... most importantly, where is the FUN in Rykiel!!?

Another brand that should have closed. It's just a brand now dwindling down to the ranks of Sandro and Maje...

And they have blatantly copied Louis Vuitton with the shoes. Way to ruin the brands reputation.

The previous designer was better. This looks very run of the mill, it lacks the sort of 70s undercurrent which is central to the brand, in the same way it is with Chloe.
