Overview
In 1962, when Sonia Rykiel was pregnant, she couldn't find any soft sweaters to wear, and so starting designing and sewing stylish maternity wear for herself. This marked the beginning of Rykiel's design career. The striking redhead is today dubbed by Americans as "the Queen of Knits” and “Coco Rykiel,” and notoriously started her career in the most extraordinary fashion, with no formal training or experience to her name. Over the years, Rykiel has proved that knitwear can follow any trend. Her “non-precious” creations and lifestyle have transformed her into one of the major representatives of the liberated woman.
