Carine Roitfeld Wear Quotations

People think I only wear new clothes, that I'm very trendy, but I like classic things on me, to mix with a trendy pair of shoes.

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.

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.

When I was working with Tom Ford, he would just look at me and ask, 'Will you wear it?' I'd say, 'Ah, too long, too short, lower waist, deeper V, unbutton' - that sort of thing. I don't create clothes, but I definitely know how to make them come alive.

You lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.

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.

I love the noise of my wooden clogs on my wooden floor. Dancers wear clogs. They're good for you.
