Roving Reporter : Sonia Rykiel

Sonia always does the cutest things! I love her Sonia By . . . range, super chic, patterned knits and this translates back into main line Sonia. 

There were fabulous stripe jumper dresses, over sized cardigans and big, waist cinched fur coats. There were both voluminous, hareem style cut trousers, as well as more work wear, straight cut, front crease varieties. 

There was quite an androgynous feel to the collection, with models having scraped back hair and trooping down in trouser suits and waist coats.

There was plenty of wool, both knitted and suited, (note the use of plaid). Some more girlish pieces included sparkly, embellished dresses and the most amazing jewel encrusted tux jacket, with velvet lapels. This signaled the use of velvet again, fashion week has been covered in the stuff and some gorgeous hareem, black velvet trousers showed a youthful vibe, to what is often seen as a stuffy fabric. 

A thoroughly gorgeous collection!
