A magazine is not just one person. And a fashion shoot is the same!

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 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
In fashion, it’s always better to be an interesting person than a beautiful one. Character is much more fascinating than pure good looks.
Carine Roitfeld
I think that something needs to be weird in order to have real beauty.

Fashion's about extravagance, and everyone needs a bit of that.
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.
