I was the muse of Tom Ford and Gucci for years, but that was a long time ago.
Carine Roitfeld -
I don't have a big appetite. I don't eat a lot, to be honest - never. I'm a bit like a little bird, picking all day long, but I'm not getting pasta or getting all those things, you know?

The first Chanel jacket that I saw - that I knew was Chanel - was on TV. It was on Mrs. Kennedy - the pink one.

I discovered the slip dress, which I think is one of the more French things because when you take off your clothes, even when to go into a shop to buy something, or you're going to Riccardo Tisci to try on a suit, it's like having protection.

Sometimes, when you go to airport and look at the people, you see the worst looks - but the worst looks can give you more ideas than the best looks.

To me, makeup is fashion and vice versa. What I dress and what I wear always needs to work with my makeup, which is usually the same anyway.
Carine Roitfeld -
I am not mean at all; I am not tough at all.
Carine Roitfeld -
I have a lot to say about fashion - not just about fashion, but beauty, art.

Paris is mostly retired people - I love it, and it's a beautiful city, but it's quite slow.
Carine Roitfeld -
There are so many magazines and so many editors out there that you have to be different.
Carine Roitfeld -

You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.

It's very difficult for designers today. How can someone produce so many shows? Now the minimum is four a year.

In photo shoots, I rely on instinct. Which is not to say I don't bring ideas to a project or consider it beforehand.
