So said the ex-Vogue Paris editrix in an interview on Vogue.com. (We thought a collage of her various smoky editorials was apropos.)
It's been a year and a half since Carine Roitfeld vowed to "never use a cigarette again in any shoot," but it looks like the editrix may have already forgotten her declaration.
Feast your eyes on new images from Barney's fall campaign, "Carine's World," styled and cast by none other than our favorite ex-editrix, Carine Roitfeld. Roitfeld pulled out all the stops for her first post-Vogue gig, and the result, unsurprisingly, is gorgeous--with Carine's unmistakable finger prints all over it. Along with herself and her family, Roitfeld cast models she loves, friends she's known for years and women whose style she's admired from afar in the glossy spread.
She's a politician; I'm a stylist. They are two very different jobs. --Carine Roitfeld on why she'll never be Anna Wintour's replacement in Spiegel.
In news that makes us really, really happy: Carine Roitfeld is slated to launch her own magazine. While Roitfeld stays mum on many of the details, the former Vogue Paris editrix said in an interview for Dazed & Confused that she hopes to start a "really iconic magazine that’s fresh and exciting." The magazine will "be something less frequent than a month" and will be printed in English. "There is no value in it being in French," she said, "It needs to be international." According to ELLE, Roitfeld isn't the only big-name fashion industry player involved: Marie-Amelie Sauve, Mario Testino and Stephen Gan--aka "the dream team"--will also play a role in the as-yet-unnamed publication. No doubt, with so many talented people involved, the magazine is sure to be a huge success.
