Coming soon to Nordstrom: the very French, ’70s-rooted label Sonia Rykiel, and we couldn’t be more excited. Known and loved for a legacy of killer knits and a for-women, by-women ethos, the house is about feminine spirit, intellect and strength and a very Parisienne point of view. The Fall 2016 collection, from recently appointed artistic director Julie de Libran, is in turn, the fourth chapter of what she sees as “imaginary conversations.”
It’s a dialogue about retro stripes, dandy bows, military coats and jewel toned fur—and in some places, it was illustrated by collaborator Maggie Cardelus, whose yellow and black print is made up of portraits depicting the designer and artistic director along with Sonia, her daughter Nathalie (the company’s VP) and her granddaughter Lola (who decamped to New York and the American communications office).
Seeing these pieces on girls like Arizona Muse and Edie Campbell (above) as they walked a dizzyingly complicated anti-runway tangle (a bonafide Fashion Week trend in the production category) inside Paris’s most prestigious art school, Ecole des Beaux-Arts, the name Sonia Rykiel seemed at once vintage and modern—that coveted sweet spot, come to life.
