I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.

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

Enthusiasm is something so positive.
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 think that something needs to be weird in order to have real beauty.

Fashion shows used to be more crazy. Now they've become a bit too serious.

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.

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.

I think you are born chic. You cannot be chic. It is something you cannot learn.
