Sonia Rykiel Autumn / Winter 2016

PARIS — The stage might certainly have expanded for Sonia Rykiel designer Julie de Libran from its storied Saint-Germain des Prés boutique to Palais des Beaux-Arts blocks away, but the same loving attention to detail was ever present in this collection for Autumn / Winter 2016. That detail was manifest in a specially designed print by artist Maggie Cardelus that reimagines portraits of the house founder, Lola Rykiel, Julie de Libran, and the artist herself, truly a community of women. That spirit was alive on the tiled runway early Monday evening courtesy of a full seven models at Next amongst others including Amalie Moosgaard, Sandra Schmidt, Julie Hoomans, Wangy, Lineisy Montero, Arizona Muse, and Caroline Reagan.
