Carine Roitfeld

I like to provoke. I'm very French.

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.

'Vogue' is a very beautiful magazine, an institution, and I learned so much working there.

Fashion is very tough, and we shouldn't forget that before designers were money-makers, they were artists.

I could live very quietly, do advertising to earn money.

When Tom Ford asked me to consult for Gucci, I had never consulted in my life. I didn't know what consulting was, and look, we made something amazing.
