Fashion has a political role insofar as following it can give you the impression to belonging to a certain social group or a private club.
Carine RoitfeldEach woman needs to know herself and think that the clothes are here to make her more beautiful, because the person is more important than the clothes.
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.
