A magazine is not just one person. And a fashion shoot is the same!
Carine Roitfeld
I need a lot of black on my eyes and a little shot of vodka to be brave, because you're beautiful when you relax.
Carine Roitfeld
In a way, I envy the freedom artists have. Artists can push themselves beyond their limits, in pursuit of their ideas and their vision, even if they are inhabited by demons that can also play tricks on them.
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.

I think it's good that [my granddaughter] here because I lost my parents and now it's great that there's a new generation. And she's taught me new things that I've forgotten. Like, when you're on holiday and see what it's like to see a shell or go into the water for the first time.

I am not a good professional of fashion. I am not an expert about how clothes are constructed or the history of fashion. I never start with fashion. I always think of the girl and her personality - because all that matters to me when you look at a page is, Do you want to be that girl?

It’s funny, everything is so much easier when you do it yourself.
Carine Roitfeld
I think, in many ways, certain people sought me out maybe because they liked my body language or they liked the way I wore a slit skirt, the way I cross my legs or carry my purse. It's quite inspiring to play the seduction card.
Carine Roitfeld
What I hope I would do is something new, but I still love print. I love to touch paper. I'm not sure if I will ever do a magazine again, but I have plenty of ideas on the subject.
Carine Roitfeld
Grandmother doesn't mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren.
Carine Roitfeld
Yves Saint Laurent liked women to put their hands in their pockets, or to hold cigarettes, and act a bit like boys. It was to give an impression of composure, some self-assurance, and to counter the feminine appearance.
Carine Roitfeld
Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.
Carine Roitfeld
Fashion shows used to be more crazy. Now they've become a bit too serious.
Carine Roitfeld
My biggest icon is Liz Taylor because I dont think she had great taste but I loved her energy.
Carine Roitfeld
I love black lingerie and white shoes, and I love knives.
Carine Roitfeld
When you have confidence, when you feel loved by people, you can tell them the truth. It's important that I can say the photo isn't beautiful or the photo shoot sucks.
Carine Roitfeld
Sins are timeless. Sins are an everyday reality for every one. Sin has been in existence since the beginning of man, since Adam and Eve. It will always be pertinent.
