On February 20th, H+M is bringing another heavyweight to the masses. Sonia Rykiel's lively knitwear and accessories collection for women and girls will be available at over 200 H+M stores world wide. (scroll down for a list of Canadian locations)

Unlike other H+M designer collaborations, this will also be available in size mini-me for girls 18 months - 8 years. Can you imagine Mom and baby in matching pink and yellow striped sweater dresses? Love.

“Knits were my destiny. I have always loved them", says Sonia Rykiel. "When I was a little girl, my mother knitted for me little black sweaters – which of course were impossible to find. Knits are happiness itself, a way of working on the body and playing with colors. They represent true freedom. A knit wraps and attaches. Every day, it wraps its sleeves around my neck and we vow to each other eternal love! I love the idea of this game and this passion, hand in hand with H&M.”
