“Rykiel style is more than fashion, it is a lifestyle. It is a very French elegance, but more than that it is very Parisian, and even more than that it is very Left Bank. It is the incarnation of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés woman. With this lingerie collection, the house’s signature chic and seduction is available for all women,” says Nathalie Rykiel, president and artistic director of Sonia Rykiel.
‘The Sonia Rykiel pour H&M’ lingerie collection comes is available six themes. A tuxedo is revisited as twenties inspired loungewear in velvet with chiffon lining and belt.

“Who better than Sonia Rykiel to make lingerie chic! These styles are really new, sensual and very feminine yet “dressed”. I love the stripes, which are so modern, and the black and nude colours are very flattering. It’s about looking good underneath for your own sake,” says Margareta van den Bosch, creative advisor of H&M.
