"Sonia Rykiel, 83, clutches the hem of her jacket to stop her left hand from trembling. Despite her "f***ing Parkinson's" as she calls it, her face is cheerful under her shock of red hair and her voice is firm. She sits in her large central Paris flat, with its black walls and brightly coloured paintings, and launches into how she started making those famous little jumpers in the 1960s. How someone who didn't "want to get a job and have 10 kids" and never trained as a dress designer became interested in knitwear – looked down upon by most fashion houses."
