More quotes by Carine Roitfeld
When you have the baby, there is no BlackBerry, no computer you just have the baby on your stomach, and your heart is beating the same time as the baby's. It's very nice.
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
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.

It’s funny, everything is so much easier when you do it yourself.

In fashion, it’s always better to be an interesting person than a beautiful one. Character is much more fascinating than pure good looks.

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.

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

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
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
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.
