This Paris Fashion Week Sonia Rykiel marks 40 years in the fashion business and it looks set to be one hell of a party.
The Parisian based designer famed for her quirky-yet-wearable knits is set to have a party on 1st October as part of Paris Fashion Week and looks set to invite the who's who of Paris fashion.
To mark the occasion, her daughter
Nathalie has asked Karl Lagerfeld, Donna Karan and Jean Paul Gaultier to design a Sonia Rykiel styled outfit to pay homage to the designer.
Since Karl Lagerfeld is known to be able to get into the mindset of designers, I'm curious to see how he interprets her influence on the fashion world.
I think we have an emerging style star on our hands. Emma Stone was not only rocking a super cute cut-out shoulder dress while visiting MTV's TRL, but she also tied her look together with a studded wrap belt. The beauty of these is you can either dress up a casual look or dress down a formal look.
Knits always feel right fireside. Fall's knit parade keeps things interesting with new silhouettes, pops of color, and dramatic styling. Missoni, adored for its signature knits, threw this tunic on Freja (left) atop colorful layering.
Wow, it seems that sale season is upon us again and we can hardly move for designer bargains. Talk about a way to combat the credit crunch. Today is the turn of
Start London who are a funky young designer boutique in East London currently selling off pieces by Miu Miu, Sonia Rykiel and See by Chloe.
There's nothing better to shake your groove thing in than a disco-inspired jumpsuit. It's slightly different than
a romper with shorts in that it's less resort-like and more dressy. We
touched on the subject earlier this year because we had a hunch it would become a major Spring craze.
Remember not too long ago I was admiring
Kate Bosworth in her fierce all-black ensembles. Well, after what seems like years of laying low on the fashion front, Gwyneth first stunned us with a gorgeous
May Vogue cover and has been glamming it up for the
Iron Man press tour all week long. Kate Bosworth may look fierce in all-black, but Gwyneth is the fiercest of them all.
Celeb Fashion Hit or Miss?

You read about the book,

Bright colors, luscious frocks, and studded clutches drip from the pages of Sonia Rykiel's Spring ads. Butterfly barrettes nest in a bed of curls and a troika of eleven models frolic through the park. It's a Sonia Rykiel sunshiney day.
Paris Fashion Week Fall 2008 was a bit of a disappointment for myself although one collection that particularly stood out was
Sonia Rykiel. Rykiel stuck to what she knows best drawing on a vast colour palette with plenty of funky detailing and clashing tones. Her fall collection will not be available for a few months but the Spring line is just as much fun.
