Antimonide - fashion spot -

Last night was the official launch party for Sonia Rykiel for H&M in Paris at The Grand Palais. Between vintage lingeries, mini Eiffel Tower, ballons, magic forest, bucket of champagne…Sonia Rykiel was the most extravagant party to be at in Paris! A total Parisian magical and fairy tail world for a total of 2,000 guests, including celebrities such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Kate Bosworth, Emanuelle Béart and Eva Herzigova. “I think it is very Sonia Rykiel to have her presentation with H&M here. She is so Paris, and I don’t think she could have had it anywhere else.” stated Eva Herzigova last night.

The lingerie will be available in store December 5th in 1,500 H&M stores worldwide; retail prices between 9 euro to 59 euros.

So now that the US elections got to their (happy) end, it is time for celebration. Get your dress quick and let’s go dance tonight ! I’ll wear my Rodarte for Sonia Rykiel jersey cheerleader suit and you’ll jump into the Pop Art Jean Charles de Castelbajac dress – wouldn’t that be ace??
