Carine Roitfeld: The Definitive Style-Setter
From her fur coats to her pencil skirts, everybody that matters in the fashion world is strongly influenced by the former Fashion Editor of French Vogue, Carine Roitfeld. It is not everyone who occupies Carine’s elevated position in the fashion world could really influence fashion with her own personal style. But influenced, it did. The most celebrated fashion designers of our time such as Christophe Decarnin of Balmain, Donna Karan, Derek Lam and Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, Sophia Kokosalaki, Bottega Veneta and Jill Sanders to name a few have paid tribute to Carine’s fashion style. They carry in their collections skinny pencil skirts, perfect oversized tailored camel coats, mannish jackets, fitted shift dress all signature wardrobe of Carine Roitfeld.
Carine Roitfeld is the ultimate Parisian in every aspect of her life, including her own personal fashion style. She has impeccable taste and is more than unconventional in the way she thinks. To her, fashion is undoubtedly self-indulgent and she embraces fashion’s existence but with a far-reaching cultural foresight that gives the whole picture a sense of balance. She has an intrinsic gift to combine street culture and sophistication but at all times staying away from being identified solely in any of these two worlds but forever acknowledging that mixing these two disparate worlds is the only medium for creativity.
All these notwithstanding, Carine’s approach to fashion is categorically lofty. She has a remarkable eye for coming up with a look that is both attractive and avant-garde. She combines decorous adult pieces with assertive trend-setting fashion statements, some of which borders on the edgy, such as her love of fur, bondage shoes and animal prints that have made the most influence on fashion. Most runway shows of the past winter season were copies of Carine’s chic glam, her own personal trademark. Carine Roitfeld’s personal fashion style is all about tradition, simplicity and luxury.
