More quotes by Carine Roitfeld

Each woman needs to know herself and think that the clothes are here to make her more beautiful, because the person is more important than the clothes.
Carine Roitfeld
Beauty can be quite boring, especially if you're talking about beauty that doesn't last. And what lasts is exactly the thing that maybe wasn't pretty at first. It comes over time to be beautiful or interesting or exciting.
Carine Roitfeld
I get an award for being the best dressed, but at the end of the day I'm not Daphne Guinness. I don't like people to look at me for my dress. The letter is more important than the envelope. But if you feel good in your envelope, then you will feel better about yourself.
Carine Roitfeld
Always wear high heels. Yes, they give you power. you move differently, sit differently and even speak differently.
