This vintage late 1980's Sonia Rykiel Paris Wool striped oversized top is in a pale beige with bright pink horizontal stripes and a drawstring waist. This fabulous knit top has shoulder pads, 3/4 length sleeves, upper back buttons and a pointed pink collar. We love the Sonia Rykiel monogram patch on the center front! We love Sonia Rykiel vintage pieces and once you own one of her sweaters, you will understand why she was given the nickname "Queen of the Knits." If you are looking for pieces to add to your wardrobe, a Sonia Rykiel knit sweater is a must!

They say that inventors who invent something because they the thing they are looking for hasn't been invented yet, are the most successful. We believe that the same is true for fashion designers! Sonia Rykiel went into fashion to create garments she wanted but could not find anywhere. She was not trained as a designer, but in the early 1960's, she found a company that would make bump revealing maternity clothing for her husband’s family-owned boutique in Paris. During that time, this was considered scandalous to wear tight clothing while pregnant! From there she started asking Italian machine-knitwear companies to make sweaters modified from ones she owned to make them smaller, with a high armhole and tight sleeves. That is how the prototype for the famous Sonia Rykiel "Poor boy sweater" was born. This sweater was skinny-ribbed and striped, and due to a twist of fate, an Elle magazine editor saw the sweater and before long, Françoise Hardy was wearing it on the magazine’s cover. Even icons like Brigitte Bardot and Audrey Hepburn bought several of the pieces. Rykiel's clothes were a representation of her and were considered sensual, witty, and original. Long before the Japanese, she was designing pieces with unfinished hemlines and exposed seams. Her pieces changed only slightly from season to season as they were meant to be timeless, not trendy. Perhaps our favorite fact about Sonia Rykiel is that she was a huge supporter of one of our favorites, Patrick Kelly. She lobbied to have him admitted into the Chambre syndicale du prêt-à-porter des couturiers et des créateurs de mode.
