Your Friday French Fashion Report: Sonia Rykiel Fall/Winter Collection 2011/2012







Evocative of French Resistance agents of WWII, the Sonia Rykiel Collection for Fall/Winter 2011 brings to mind the streets of 1940's Paris, with it's eclectic mélange of textures and patterns that is uniquely Sonia. Known for her sweaters, she layers expertly without losing the body, and her pairing of clunky shoes with evening wear is nothing new, but daring nonetheless! Sonja always projects a sense of humor with her designs, and this seasons Pendleton inspired plaid blanket pants are no exception - perfect for an crisp fall afternoon at an Ivy League football game, fringe and all! Choose a formidable leather handbag as your top accessory priority for autumn, perhaps in an eye popping colour to contrast with a neutral palette.
