But going it alone suits the woman who opened her first shop to indulge a hobby. Now, she's known around the world for her exceptional knitwear and detailing. Rykiel uses stripes, rhinestones, even velour, to create her style. While...

On bright yellow paper, the poster said, “Natalie: Day 25. Did you know: my heart is already beating!” Below the fetus was a quote: “‘A person’s a person no matter how small.’ –Horton Hears...
