From the communes of Western Paris hails Sonia Rykiel who by the age of 17, was employed to dress the window displays in a Parisian textile store. Married and expecting her first, Rykiel was unable to find soft sweaters and it was then that Rykiel began her first foray into design.

Sonia Rykiel thereafter created her first maternity dresses and a tiny sweater, called the Poor Boy Sweater, which she started selling from her husband's label "Laura". The Poor Boy Sweater made the cover of ELLE fashion magazine, and brought Rykiel international fame.

Since then, she has continued to experiment to expand her offerings. Rykiel was the first designer to put seams on the outside of a garment, and to print words on her sweaters. In particular, she favors long clinging sweaters or small cropped pullovers, large rolled-back cuffs and long shawls. Her color palette usually features beige, grey, dark blue and charcoal.  The Rykiel Enfant Children's Line follows the adult lines closely in both pallete and design with the signature Rykiel Stripes prominently featured throughout.  With smatterings for boys, Rykiel Enfant is primarily for the Young Girl and Infant .
