Let’s just all remind ourselves why Carine Roitfeld is in the upper echelons of cool….
Carine Roitfeld, editor in chief of French Vogue, internationally recognised as the epitome of French style. A fashion icon, a designer’s muse, she’s a mix of rock & roll, elegance, sophistication and sex, like a chic, female Iggy Pop. She prefers black to colours, dead-straight hair to fancy do’s, and no matter where she is, she’s in high heels because "shoes give the look". Carine keeps her clothing simple and direct, has a sense of class and humor, dignity and power – and so damn sexy!

you are my favorite.
Thank you so much for the scans! Carine is amazing, shes going to be bigger than anna. Or maybe she already is?
Also, she could easily be a model
Well…she’s definitely more esteemed in my books, that’s for sure!
The icon… often seen in one of the Vogue Paris issues, even in the one where there was a few “en vogue” pages about Carine.
The cross… she is not that religious, she just loves the shape of the cross
oh and in picture 3 it’s a trinity ring by Cartier.
(stupid notes unless you really care about that woman)
