Zitat des Tages von Carine Roitfeld:
It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.
I don't think the woman in French 'Vogue' was an object. She was always a real woman.
I miss my parents. But still, my granddaughter, my daughter, my grandma, you know, so it's very important for me. You lost your parents, but a new baby comes. It's like the cycle of fashion.
I started wearing high heels when I first worked with Mario Testino. He is tall; I had to be at his height. And I have never stopped since then.
Just because someone is holding a gun doesn't make an image controversial. It all depends on where you put the gun, who is holding it.
Designers have told me that their collections are so me, but I don't always recognise it because if you ask me what my style is, I'm really not that sure.
One time, a burglar came to my apartment, so we called the police. My son was here, so I think they left before they tried to steal something. So the police come to my apartment, and they say, 'Oh my God, did they steal everything?' I was like, 'No, it was like that!'
If I'm doing something in fashion, I will try to respect the 'laws' of the business, but I will try to keep my integrity and my respect for the designers and for my readers.
I love ballet because you can see how beautiful the body is.
Fashion is a language, for sure, and it is a reflection of society.
When you have a magazine like 'Vogue,' you know a lot of kids are going to follow your pictures.
Do what you are not supposed to do, like wear white shoes all year round.
When you love fashion, there is no weekend. Everything just blends together.
I think it is good when something can stay interesting for a long time. It's not just a trend for one month.
If Kate Moss hadn't been booked when she was 14, Kate Moss might not exist.
When everything is good, maybe I think it's the time to do something else.
I made a big family when I was working at 'Vogue' for ten years, and I'm still friends with a lot of them.
You can't put yourself into competition with a magazine like 'Vogue.' You have to create something new, something different.
Paris is mostly retired people - I love it, and it's a beautiful city, but it's quite slow.
In photo shoots, I rely on instinct. Which is not to say I don't bring ideas to a project or consider it beforehand.
When I don't know what to wear, I wear black lace.
I think it's good to have surprises in fashion because we always see the same things.
Sometimes pressure can be good, and it gives you a lot of energy to do something.
I think I have character, and that is what people like in me.
My mom read French 'Elle' when I was a little girl, and so, when I was 15 or 16, I said, 'I want to work in fashion.'
It is very wrong to sleep in your make-up, but when you wake up the next morning, I think it looks very good.
We are very luck to be women, so even if we're wearing trousers, I always wear them with some lace underwear or a very feminine bra - I like that.
I'm a very spontaneous person, for the bad and the good.
You can be beautiful with big breasts; you can be beautiful in your 40s. If you don't have perfect ankles, still you can move your legs in a certain way and look very sexy.
I do think fashion is fun! Much more than people think.
I am just doing photo shoots. It's not something that extraordinary. I'm not a great artist, I'm not writing books, I'm not a painter, and people in the streets ask me for a picture or a note, and I say, 'Why?'
I am very excited to be able to work more with young designers and support them.
'Vogue' is a bigger name than my name.
Karl Lagerfeld looks very tough because of the glasses, and he has all these rings and the leather gloves, and he's so smart. But he's a very nice person... when he comes into a room or studio, he is going to say hello to each person, and the same when he leaves.
'Vogue' is a very specific world. You are 'Vogue,' or not 'Vogue.'
It's very difficult for designers today. How can someone produce so many shows? Now the minimum is four a year.
