Sonia Rykiel for H&M

Even before one designer collaboration has even hit the stores, the next one is announced.  Starting december 5th  Sonia Rykiel will be warming us up for the holiday season.

The Queen of Knits will also be designing a range of lingerie and extended accessories for H&M, that will be available in Sonia Rykiel stores as well as 1,500 H&M stores around the world, this marks a first for H&M.

And come spring, the collaboration will continue into what Rykiel is most famous for, her knits.  The knitwear collection will be available for both woman and girls aged 1.5 to 8years old, and will be launched February 8th, 2010 in 250 H&M stores around the globe.

“It is a hallmark of Sonia Rykiel to think of all women because fashion is about a certain spirit more than a question of means. This collaboration fits perfectly with our philosophy. The Sonia Rykiel pour H&M lingerie collection is the ideal way to offer the essence of Rykiel to a great number of women around the world, and a beautiful way to close the year. The knitwear collection is perfect for welcoming a colourful new season,” says Nathalie Rykiel, president and artistic director of Sonia Rykiel.
