More quotes by Carine Roitfeld
It’s funny, everything is so much easier when you do it yourself.
Carine Roitfeld
Grandmother doesn't mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren.
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
I don't have problems with my weight, I don't change weight but I think when you're gaining in age your position has to be beautiful.
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
Maybe people have no idea how much work is behind a picture. It can seem very effortless but there is a lot of work. It’s exactly like doing ballet. It’s hours and hours but when you go onstage it’s just the pleasure of dancing.

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
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
I think that something needs to be weird in order to have real beauty.
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
I do go very fast. I think if I don't go fast it's going to be boring. That's what photographers need to do.
Carine Roitfeld
A magazine is not just one person. And a fashion shoot is the same!
Carine Roitfeld
Fashion is supposed to be light and not try too hard.
Carine Roitfeld
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?
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
People always say, 'You look like Iggy Pop.'
Carine Roitfeld
Fashion shows used to be more crazy. Now they've become a bit too serious.
Carine Roitfeld
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.
Carine Roitfeld
Fashion's about extravagance, and everyone needs a bit of that.
