The Queen of Hearts...

Well my heart - Sonia Rykiel. With her signature stripes, bold colours and fluffy hair, the SS11 collection made it's début.  Obviously expecting less sun and more cloud, her collection played around wool t-shirt dresses, oversized striped cardigans worn with leggings, dungarees and huge sweatshirts. Wide legged trousers and nude silk dresses with gold metallic daisies, floppy parkas and beautifully tailored shorts tied with a bow.  Cropped trousers and colour block jumpers, and swishy skirts with gentle pleats worn with beautiful sun hats and cheerful faces in an array of sweet candy colours and bold blocks; pink, blush, peach, orange.  Hints of camel, tan and black, then lemon, white, beige and turquoise.  Typically Sonia Rykiel, expertly beautiful. To finish the collection Sonia moved towards sleeveless tulle and jersey floor length dresses and sweet jumpsuits - a different twist for each. The show's finale entailed a parade of models all clad in knitted knickers and matching tops covering the candy coloured spectrum.  Fun, happy and sweet. With summer accessories to die for! Striped handbags, ballet shoes, floppy hats and espadrill platforms completed each sweet look. A collection that I truly adore. Sonia you never disappoint...
