The most important thing is posture: when you get old, it's the way you walk, the way you stand, that shows it.

I am Parisian. I don't love the French.

Look at someone like Steve Jobs. His look wasn't very special - black turtleneck and jeans - but he had style. He looked the same, and you knew it was him when you saw him. Plus, he was a very smart person, which is also very attractive. His style was simple, not distracting, and very strong.

Carine Roitfeld -
Even though jeans suit me, I never wear jeans.

If Caravaggio was a photographer today, I would love to work with him. I love his dark vision - I have a dark vision.
Carine Roitfeld -
A lot of rumours on the Internet are wrong and horrible.
Carine Roitfeld -
You can be covered and be very sexy. It's not what you show; it's what you have in mind, the way you cross your legs, the way you talk to people.
Carine Roitfeld -
I like to surprise people. I try to take risks.

I'm not bad-looking, but I'm not a beauty, either.
Carine Roitfeld -
I love ballet because you can see how beautiful the body is.

I made a big family when I was working at 'Vogue' for ten years, and I'm still friends with a lot of them.

When I don't know what to wear, I wear black lace.
