Sonia Rykiel is a treasured French institution, much like Yves Saint-Laurent and Chanel. In the 1970s, Rykiel, famous for her striped knitwear, and fellow designer Saint-Laurent launched the Rive Gauche -- a Left Bank casual day look adapted from menswear -- knits, trousers, tuxedo jackets. The red-haired designer, who currently designs with her daughter Nathalie, has collaborated with H&M for a lingerie collection in stores on Saturday. The collection ranges from $12.95 for a rosette bra to $34.95 for corsets and teddies to $69.95 for a silk kimono robe in Rykiel’s signature multi-colored stripes plus slippers, pillows and headbands. The Sonia Rykiel pour H&M knitwear collection debuts in February.
