Maybe people have no idea how much work is behind a picture. It can seem very effortless but there is a lot of work. Itโs exactly like doing ballet. Itโs hours and hours but when you go onstage itโs just the pleasure of dancing.
Carine RoitfeldWhen you have confidence, when you feel loved by people, you can tell them the truth. It's important that I can say the photo isn't beautiful or the photo shoot sucks.
Carine RoitfeldImitation always stinks. When I take photos, I don't go back. I don't look at the past. I'm always original.
Carine RoitfeldI've been working with Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy.It's been a long collaboration, and I don't think it's going to stop now. It's very important to me. Riccardo is younger than me, so it's great to have someone new teaching you in everything, not just in fashion. I'm teaching him in French style, what a women's style is, but he's teaching me in all of these different styles of music.I love this new world for me. It's refreshing and nourishing to keep learning about new things.
