Fashion's about extravagance, and everyone needs a bit of that.
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.
Carine Roitfeld
Either you are a good Virgo or a crazy Virgo! The good Virgo side of me is educating and raising the children - being there for them.
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
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

Carine Roitfeld
I think you are born chic. You cannot be chic. It is something you cannot learn.
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
Grandmother doesn't mean that you have gray hair and you retire and stay home cooking cakes for your grandchildren.
Carine Roitfeld
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.
Carine Roitfeld
A magazine is not just one person. And a fashion shoot is the same!
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
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
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
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.
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.
