Not only is Sonia Rykiel‘s collection always one of my favorites (thanks to a certain someone,) but her Spring 2009 collection was ultra-inspired this time around. Yes, she had the usual cavalcade of brilliant costume confections, killer styling, and adorable models sporting the iconic Sonia frizzy ‘do … But this time the genius was added to by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Karl Lagerfeld, Martin Margiela, the Rodarte sisters, Jean Paul Gaultier, and Olivier Theyskens, who saluted the Parisian grande dame of knitwear on the 40th anniversary of her design house. Many took a cue from her iconic coif! The show, at the Park of Saint-Cloud in Paris, was a gift to Rykiel from her daughter Nathalie.
