1. Sonia Rykiel confesses she has suffered from Parkinson's Disease for 15 years. Now released in France, she co-wrote a book with Judith Perrignon about her experience with Parkinson's called
N’oubliez Pas Que Je Joue (“Don’t forget it’s a game," or "Don't forget that I'm playing"). On why she waited so long to announce that she had Parkinson's, she said,
“I don’t want to show my pain. I resisted, I hesitated, I tried to be invisible, to pretend that nothing was wrong. It’s impossible, it’s not like me.”
Her daughter, Nathalie, has taken over her iconic label. [
