"There are fashion shows that make you drum your fingers on your chin trying to interpret and figure out what you&amp;#x27;re seeing. Then there are fashion shows that just make you leap for joy at the happiness of it all. Sonia Rykiel consistently sends her girls out with a smile, a rarity on the catwalk, but this fall 20111 season, they wore sassy smiles&amp;amp;mdash;maybe with a bit of a smirk, even.The Sonia Rykiel girl was mixing it up in a way that really spoke to me. Yes, there were still a lot of Rykiel&amp;#x27;s trademark knits, but also into the mix came heritage elements such as tartans, argyles and Fair Isle knits, along with ladylike pearls and stoles. Then there were sporty oversized bomber jackets and platform creepers. Rykiel translates elements we&amp;#x27;ve seen before into her own language&amp;amp;mdash;one that is endearing and adorable, and in a season where strict codes of elegance rule, I actually welcome this style/genre- mixing as a respite.
