“If I'm doing something in fashion, I will try to respect the 'laws' of...” — Carine Roitfeld Quote

If I'm doing something in fashion, I will try to respect the 'laws' of the business, but I will try to keep my integrity and my respect for the designers and for my readers.

The most important thing is posture: when you get old, it's the way you walk, the way you stand, that shows it.

Designers have told me that their collections are so me, but I don't always recognise it because if you ask me what my style is, I'm really not that sure.

Do what you are not supposed to do, like wear white shoes all year round.

I want to be the Joan of Arc of fashion. I want to be the link between the runway and the real woman.

It is interesting to see what other designers do, and not work in a vacuum.

Staymakers and fashion designers have always wanted us to purchase new clothes, so they change their output year on year - we feel out of date, and feel that itch to buy.

That era of designers being away with the fairies is gone... You've got to live in the real world.

Unlike painting, sculpture, or music, typefaces must be useful to someone. Fortunately for designers, the digital age has produced new problems to solve - developing typefaces that work on mobile phones, for one - and enabled better solutions to old problems.
