daughter care artistic
I am still taking care of the creation of the collection alongside my staff, and my daughter Nathalie Rykiel, is the artistic director of Sonia Rykiel, who takes care of a lot of things. We are very alike and also very close.
fashion art real
My parents never mentioned anything about fashion in our household, instead we used to talk about literature, theatre, and arts...this is why I have kept a real relation with the Art world, by putting books from the beginning in my shops' windows.
inspiration artist everyday
I feel like a slave, and in a way like an artist, because I need to get inspiration everyday, from everything and everyone...
fashion art cake
It doesn't matter one damn bit whether fashion is art or not. You don't question whether an incredible chef is an artist or not-his cakes are delicious and that's all that matters.
girl fashion art
Fashion is also a form of art, and like every kind of art, it has its own way of expression. In other words, if a dress looks better on a thin girl, on a catwalk, during a very specific moment of time and space then it's represented as part of a "fashion Show". It is after all a "Show" and it has to be understood by people that it is a "show" and not real life.
fashion kids world
I did not plan to have such a career in the fashion world. All that I wanted, was to have ten kids and raise them!
smart helpful let-me-go
I can be negatively criticised, but this is actually a positive thing, especially if the critic is smart, and helpful. I am very attentive to critics, they let me go ahead and push myself harder to continue.
proust
You know, the more grown-up you are, the more you like Proust.
fashion fashion-industry
The fashion industry can in a certain way be very hard and closed.
design
I started by designing a sweater very close to the body, because I couldn't find any for myself.
disappointed
I can be happy with something I did, like a drawing or a dress I designed, and yet be very disappointed with the same drawing, or the same dress the day after.
fashion identity today
I have to say that the identity of a fashion designer is international today.
fashion creative style
The fashion industry is a free world, with creative codes that can be hardly considered sometimes, but it's also up to women to create their own style, and own trend.
fashion style important
It's important to know yourself well, in order to create your own style of fashion to suit your own body shape.
