In photo shoots, I rely on instinct. Which is not to say I don't bring ideas to a project or consider it beforehand.
Carine RoitfeldMaybe 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 RoitfeldAlways wear high heels. Yes, they give you power. you move differently, sit differently and even speak differently.
Carine RoitfeldMaybe it's good a thing that people see me this way [in the documentary film]. They expect to see me with the high heels, the glamour looks, but now they will see me running through an airport with flat shoes! Also, they'll discover that stylists with "names" are in general nicer, sweeter, have a heart, have great relationships with family and friends, and that's important. It shows that people in fashion aren't just freaks.
