Here in France, I've seen some very good young designers, but they don't have this ability to be good businessmen, too. I think America gives you this.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
As you get older, you see life is very short, so you have to appreciate more and more and to enjoy it.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I am very excited to be able to work more with young designers and support them.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
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.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
The reason I call my book 'Irreverent' is because there were a lot of pictures that were very irreverent. Maybe I could call my book 'Forgiving' because maybe I made a lot of errors, too.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I hate mules. I hate the noise when someone walks with mules. Clomp, clomp, clomp. I think it's very not chic. I don't even like a flip-flop. I don't like this noise.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I think that Americans, they love comfort more than Europeans. Americans created the T-shirt, the sweat pants, and they create the best sporting shoes.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
In Japan, you can learn how to make a bunch of flowers. This is an art. Tea ceremony, it's an art.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I think when I became a grandmother my life changed a lot, and I think I changed personally.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
If I like a make-up artist's look, even if nobody knows about her, I use her. New people give me energy.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
If Kate Moss hadn't been booked when she was 14, Kate Moss might not exist.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I've always used black girls on the runway, because I think they're beautiful. I don't need people to tell me, 'You need to use black girls.' I did for 20 years; it's not a new thing for me.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
In photo shoots, I rely on instinct. Which is not to say I don't bring ideas to a project or consider it beforehand.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
The hair and makeup is very important in a fashion picture. When I create a look for a girl, it starts with the makeup. Sometimes it takes an entire day to find the look.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I keep my old friends, and get older with them, but push young. It's good to be surrounded by kids, because they keep you young.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
It's very difficult for designers today. How can someone produce so many shows? Now the minimum is four a year.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
Fashion shows used to be more crazy. Now they've become a bit too serious.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
Paris is mostly retired people - I love it, and it's a beautiful city, but it's quite slow.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
When you're getting old, obviously you try to put on the best cream, you have massages, you try to stay beautiful, but I think wrinkles can sometimes be more beautiful than having none.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
The Russians are extreme people: they are generous but crazy at the same time. They always have something to say, and I really like that.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
Yes, I can speak a bit and I can read and write in Russian. I learned it from my grandmother who raised me with all the Russian fairytales.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
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.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I am very surprised by someone like Alexander Wang. I am amazed how he is good with fashion, with business, with public relations himself, with an attitude in his clothes that is spoken immediately.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I think it is good when something can stay interesting for a long time. It's not just a trend for one month.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I started as a writer for magazines, and soon they asked me to illustrate my stories. I started from the bottom of the bottom. And I climbed the stairs, one by one.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
My father was very chic. My mum was always encouraging me. Some parents would say, 'Why don't you be a lawyer, a doctor, or something more important?' They never said that.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I think the 'Harpers Bazaar' woman is not a fashion victim; she understands fashion but is not a victim, you know.
