I get on well with models, and I like to treat them well.

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.

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.
Carine Roitfeld -
Fashion is a completely international business.

I love if someone invites me to a restaurant, so I don't know if that's a feminist.
Carine Roitfeld -
I love the free spirit in London.
Carine Roitfeld -
I never like to wear too much makeup, and sometimes the best makeup is when it's not too perfect. I like to sometimes apply my makeup with my fingers.

I want more women to run countries. There'd be more peace on Earth.
Carine Roitfeld -
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.
Carine Roitfeld -
I'm a very spontaneous person, for the bad and the good.
Carine Roitfeld -
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.

I'm always independent. No boss.
Carine Roitfeld -
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 want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.
Carine Roitfeld -
I have a lot to say about fashion - not just about fashion, but beauty, art.
Carine Roitfeld -
You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.
Carine Roitfeld -
I am not mean at all; I am not tough at all.

I have good legs, so I prefer my skirt lengths and my high heels. It's like my uniform.
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.
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.
Carine Roitfeld -
Becoming a grandmother brought me back to the things I forgot to love. Nature. Playing. Seeing animals. A new way of looking. A rejuvenation. A cycle of life - things come back to you. The details.
