More quotes by 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.

I love black lingerie and white shoes, and I love knives.

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 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.

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

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.

Let the others have beauty. I've got the charisma.

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
My biggest icon is Liz Taylor because I dont think she had great taste but I loved her energy.
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.

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.
Carine Roitfeld
Even though I love fashion, I prefer people to fashion. Fashion is to make the person comfortable in her body, its not something very serious, you get to play.
Carine Roitfeld
Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.
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.
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
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.
