Sonia Rykiel Fall 2012

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 13:20:15 PST

There's a perfect nonchalance and a decidedly sporty edge to Sonia Rykiel's Fall 2012. April Crichton's collection is an artful balance of menswear and feminine dressing - we're treated to both strong suiting that takes shape in double-breasted coats and boxier silhouettes before the looks soften into more femme territory. That's femme without the frills - even ruching or sheer fabrications appear easy, never overworked. Dresses skim curves, but don't hug - it's knitwear that gets the sexiest finish on pencil skirts and slim sweaters with a sweatband-style headband that calls to mind more literal definitions of sportswear.

Trends: Menswear, pastels, knitwear, sheer.
Colors: Black, peach, red, teal, white, nude.
Key Look: The soft printed and ruched dresses are a pretty departure from the sharp suits; we're taken with Rykiel's sexier knitwear.
Accessories: Ankle-strap platforms, boots, and ankle-crop booties finished in slick black patent; sporty headbands.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who don't try too hard, like Kate Bosworth and Rachel Bilson; Kirsten Dunst would be a perfect fit for any of the line's pretty frocks.

Sonia Rykiel channeled the '20s for its Spring collection under the new creative direction of April Crichton. Filled with happy yellow hues and pretty watercolor prints, Crichton created a beautiful mix of pleated dresses and gowns, silk culottes, and loose trousers. To temper the softness, high-placed slits added a subtle, sexy touch. There were also some patterned sweater knits and a sweet lace pant suit we'd like to wear to the office. Overall, an effortless, feminine collection perfect for work or play. More details from the beautiful show below.

Trends: Pleats, high slits, midi hemlines, baggy trousers.
Colors: Yellow, orange, red, tan.
Key Look:The pleated dresses and skirts.
Accessories: Lace-up flats and booties, metallic structured totes, shoulder bags, chic baseball-inspired caps.

After a successful collaboration with H&M, Sonia Rykiel has got the hang of branching out. In September, the French fashion house will venture into new territory with a debut collection of home décor licensed by furnishings company Lelievre. The line will include fabric, accent pillows, rugs, beanbags, and throws featuring floral patterns and of course, Sonia's signature multicolored stripes. “It’s about humor, comfort, and a cool, bohemian vibe,” said house president Nathalie Rykiel. Luxuriously girlish, you can expect to see velvets, faux fur, silk, and even rhinestones! And with a classically flirty Left Bank attitude, some items will be emblazoned with quirky wordplays like "Home Chic Home" and "Blonde," "Brune," and "Rousse" (Blonde, Brunette, and Redhead).

From the looks of it, do you think you'll be shopping this collection?

Sonia Rykiel Extends H&M Line For Tots

Mommy and me dressing appears to be gaining popularity. While some designers have been creating the look for years, family dressing recently took center stage on Project Runway and is now filling displays at H&M stores across the country.

Sonia Rykiel, the Paris-based "Queen of Knits," is returning to her roots in her new partnership with discount fashion store H&M. The designer, who started her line when she was pregnant and couldn't find comfortable sweaters to cover her growing bump, just introduced her Spring collection for H&M, including a handful of precious designs for tots (18 months to 8 years). The black, yellow, hot pink and baby pink pieces ($4 - $70 each) feature feminine details, such as ruffles and bows that match mama's pieces in the collection.

Check out the entire children's line below and let us know what you think!
