Tres Belle! Images of Sonia Rykiel for H&M

Here's a taste of Sonia Rykiel's first collection for H&M, out this Friday. A whopping 1500 stores worldwide will be stocking it, as opposed to only 250 locations for her spring 2010 clothing collaboration, so if you live near an H&M or a Sonia Rykiel boutique --which will also carry the line, an H&M first-- there's a very good chance you'll be able to get your hands on some.

These pieces, priced from $12 to $120 (with bras coming in at about $40) areclassic Rykiel. Check out the inside-out stitching, the colorfulstripes, black lace, and rosettes -- and amongst the sexy bodies and tapshorts, she's also done some sportier styles. A highlight: thefun, brightly striped slippers which would make for a perfect Christmasgift.
