Runway Recap : Sonia Rykiel FW12

In light of the recent news about this incredible designer’s decision to keep the fact that she has had Parkinson’s disease hidden for the past 15 years is a testament to her strength.  I want to celebrate the vivaciousness and energy that is synonymous with her label.  Here is a quick overview of my favorite looks from the latest collection designed by her daughter Nathalie since ‘96.

She is known for her sexy sweaters.  She has that sultry librarian look on lock.

Always a cluster of come hither LBDs. 

So chic in these soft and fuzzy coats.

Ultra feminine frocks.

How she manages to make a wide wale look sexy is beyond me, but it works.
