Sonia by Sonia Rykiel was the contemporary diffusion line of the iconic Parisian house Sonia Rykiel, launched in the 1980s to offer a more accessible entry point to the brand's world. Spearheaded by the "Queen of Knits," the main line was famed for its celebration of liberated, intellectual Parisian style, pioneering techniques like inside-out seams and popularizing slogan sweaters. Sonia by Sonia Rykiel translated this spirit for a younger audience, infusing the house's signature knitwear, bold stripes, and comfortable fabrics with a more playful and casual energy.
