Taking showers in under 5 minutes & turning off your water faucet while brushing your teeth or shaving is what I consider STYLISH and of course anything designed by Sonia Rykiel!  This is my second item I found inside a thrift store, the first was a 2 piece pink velvet top with skirt but had mold all over it and stunk like crazy so I had to pass on it and you should have seen me, it was the longest goodbye in recorded history…  I waited like the good thrifter I am and the GODS provided me another of Sonia Rykiel’s genius creations.  This gray / black wool sweater wrap by Rykiel is a classic piece.  In 1968, Sonia Rykiel founded her label and opened a boutique in Paris.  It is the story of a designer who, starting in 1962, created knitwear pieces for the boutique Laura and, in unraveling her own desires, made the pullover into the signature for her own STYLE.  Anointed “Queen of Knits” by WWD in 1970, Rykiel quickly went on to invent inside-out stitching, “hemless” and “no lining” dressing that reflecte4d her new fashion philosophy.  Today Sonia Rykiel is the only French group in the fashion and luxury world to remain family owned and 100% independent.  Finding a stunning vintage piece such as this sweater wrap is like finding that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  Please stop by doubletake boutique when in Atlanta and follow me on Twitter & Facebook.  Be sure to share my YouTube channel with friends and loved ones too.  Toodles for now.  Daniel your luxury curator!
