Ballet is good, because it makes you stand up tall.
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
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
I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.
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
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
Fashion shows used to be more crazy. Now they've become a bit too serious.
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
People always say, 'You look like Iggy Pop.'
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
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
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
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
Fashion is supposed to be light and not try too hard.
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
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.
Carine Roitfeld
A magazine is not just one person. And a fashion shoot is the same!
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
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 love black lingerie and white shoes, and I love knives.
