Festive Rykiel

Paris is going stripy for the festive season with the Les Arts Decoratifs (Paris's Decorative Arts Museum) teaming up with French designer, Sonia Rykiel, to create fashionable gifts.

The display windows are set up with myriads of items, from a teddy bear to sequin bags, all in limited edition.

The Museum is celebrating its 40th birthday by showcasing the Sonia Rykiel Exhibition (running from the 20th of November to the 19th of April 2009).

The Queen of Knitwear invented the "un-fashion" by working in favour of women's individual personality.

The exhibition follows Rykiel's signature styles: lace, stripes, rhinestones, black and slouchy pantsuits to name but a few.

If you are in Paris for the festive season, it is well worth checking it out. It could make for an original Christmas present.
