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.
Quote by -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?
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
If I could choose something besides fashion, I would love to be a ballerina.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I think that ballet is very good for the body. It's very similar to yoga, because you have to hold a position.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
It's true I always like to mix femininity and something a bit masculine. It's the reason I love skirts with high heels and tights, and no handbag because I love having my hands in my pockets.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
To see yourself on the big screen, you're big, you hate your voice, your vocabulary. You say the same words, you speak bad.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I love curvy women. Maybe because I'm not. I would love to be a Marilyn Monroe, but I'm very far away from that... So I love very curvy girls.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
Like most Russians, I am very superstitious, and if I don't get married, I don't get divorced.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I think it's difficult to do fashion for men, because either you become very over-homosexual fashion or very boring fashion. You don't want a boy who looks 15 in a little pair of shorts with some strange art... But to see just a jacket and tie is boring.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
There are a lot of good men's magazines. In England, you have 'Arena Homme+' and 'Another Man;' and in France we have 'L'Officiel Hommes.' But all are looking similar.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I'm not a business girl. I will never be a business girl, but I will say, for Anna Wintour, that I respect successful people; I like things that are success.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
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.'
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I don't think because you have money you have taste... Education and money - this is quite rare. No?
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I made a big family when I was working at 'Vogue' for ten years, and I'm still friends with a lot of them.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
People ask me 'Why you want to do another magazine - 10 years at 'Vogue,' a great magazine? Why do you want to make a new one? It's so difficult and there's already so many.' I wanted to do something new, bring a new vision.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
When in doubt, wear a suit. Look at male politicians: you see them in a suit, and they look fine. But if you see a picture of them on the weekend or on vacation, there's a good chance they look terrible and unstylish.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I actually love the 'rappers look,' with the saggy pants and oversized clothes. It's very deliberate.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
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.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
The true test of a man's style is the haircut. There are some men who look good no matter how their hair is styled, whether it's trendy or not. A man can change his haircut many times, but to pull off any haircut, you have to be very chic. Like Brad Pitt.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
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.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
People might think I'm very hard, what with my black make-up, my hair over my eyes, etc. My innocence didn't always help me, but it did preserve something in me that maybe others don't have anymore. I'm inside my bubble, you could say, and thankfully so, because I don't think daily life is always great. It protects me.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I am afraid of blood, but for some reason often I put blood in my photos... I don't know why.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I mix talents and friendship, which is not very professional, but it's my way of thinking. So I love Azzedine Alaia, because I've known him for 30 years, and he's making my dresses most of the time.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
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.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
The first Chanel jacket that I saw - that I knew was Chanel - was on TV. It was on Mrs. Kennedy - the pink one.
Quote by -Carine Roitfeld
I'm so tired of this vision of fashion of a diva with a big ego, and you think of big dark glasses to be pretentious and keep far away from the people.
