Dubbed as the “Queen of knits”, Sonia Rykiel founded her company in 1965 after designing a range of clingy fitting jumpers to wear during her pregnancy. Since then she has been hailed for her experimental attitude to fashion with exposed seams and unfinished hems. This black embellished velvet blouse from Sonia Rykiel features a boat neck, short wide sleeves, crystal embellishments and a cropped length.
