From the Paris runway: Sonia Rykiel

Second successful opus for Julie de Libran at Sonia Rykiel. From backstage and alongside the runway, Paris Modes' Sophie de Champsavin and Natalia Grgona share their impressions on the presentation.

After the success of the first collection by Julie de Libran at Sonia Rykiel last October, the excitement could be felt for the second opus which took place in the label's headquarters in Saint-Germain-des-Près, transformed for the occasion by the artist André with a set of huge bookshelves going right up to the ceiling.

Julie has a special talent for knowing how to understand the essence of Rykiel while reinterpreting it for today. The marine jumper is adorned with silver threads, the trousers worn high-waisted in a 1970s style, the stripes are also found with sequins and on a velvet, pyjama-style ensemble. The long dresses for the evening with thin straps possess, just like the rest of the wardrobe, a relaxed, playful, and powerful allure, emblematic of the label and dear to the Rykiel family.

Worth a closer look: the black dungarees finished with a cape.
