A first look at Ex-Paris Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld’s book “Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent”. Written by Carine Roitfeld, the book is being released October 4, 2011.
The most-awaited book of the season, for me at least!
What’s inside: tear sheets and covers from Vogue and other magazines
Book description:
“Carine, and her vision of French Vogue, embodies all that the world likes to think of as Parisian style: a sense of chic that’s impeccable and sometimes idiosyncratic and which forever lives on a moonlit street as seen through the lens of Helmut Newton.”–Anna Wintour
Karl Lagerfeld once said that if you close your eyes and imagine the ideal French woman, it would be Carine Roitfeld. She is a fashion visionary and a muse. Since the start of her career in the early 1990s, through her collaborations with the legendary photographer Mario Testino, Roitfeld has been credited with launching Tom Ford’s career at Gucci, as well as turning French Vogue into one of the industry’s most worshiped magazines.
This elegant volume is a visual history of Roitfeld’s fearless career. A daring instigator, she is known for pushing the limits with her subversive styling ideas. Featuring a selection of 250 magazine tear sheets and covers from pivotal editorial shoots and advertising campaigns, as well as intimate visual ephemera, this book gives an inside view into Roitfeld’s creative thought process and sensibility. A must-have for those interested in cutting-edge fashion and femininity, this book will empower women to follow Roitfeld’s lead and take risks with their personal style.”
On other news, Carine Roitfeld’s T-shirt that her son Vladimir made for her when he was 8 yrs old reminded me of the shirt Aryanna gave me as a Mother’s Day gift when she was 5!
