Carine Roitfeld Revealed.

Posted by ilyana | Filed under Fashion

I think all of us with an interest in high fashion have always wondered what it’s like to be an editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, the behind the scenes look - but sadly, nobody really knows what actually goes on behind the locked doors of the world’s most influential fashion magazines. I’m sure we’ve all watched The Devil Wears Prada but we need a taste of the real deal!

It’s all about to change with the release of a feature documentary film “The September Issue” which lets people like you and me (basically the ones who go “OMFG DID YOU SEE HOW DISASTROUS RODARTE WAS?!”) take a rare insight look into Anna Wintour’s VOGUE US HQ and the 9 months leading up to the September issue (for those of you non-fashion folk, the september issue every year is considered the blockbuster of all issues with an average of 800-900 pages) The documentary was already aired in Sundance and will air only in US theaters if I’m not wrong but FRET NOT!

CNN has featured VOGUE PARIS editor-in-chief, Carine Roitfeld, for their half hour Revealed video segments and it aired yesterday on CNN. Cameras followed Carine everywhere during fashion week in NY and mostly Paris but you also get to hear her thoughts on her family, her work and also addressing the rumors that she might be taking over Queen Bee over at Vogue US in true french style. The video also has mini interviews with so many designers - Tom Ford, Hedi Slimane, Karl Lagerfeld and even her children, Julia and Vladimir.

Psst! You can even see 5 seconds of Anna and Carine in a brief conversation - you can tell they’re not very fond of each other lol.

I love Carine - her style is just amazing. She’s got that elusive french allure about her which is just spot on. The Vogue Paris team are always sharply dressed with their mix of Balenciaga, Margiela, Givenchy and Alaia. VOGUE PARIS > Vogue US without a doubt.

    [...] I guess one has the perks of an amazing minimalist New York home and an equally lust-worthy shoe closet (do I spy the YSL tribute blue booties at the bottom? *_*) when one is the daughter of Vogue Paris’ editor in chief, Carine Roitfeld whom I’ve written about some time ago pertaining to the CNN special she filmed that lets you take a look inside her world as an editor (good stuff, you can read about it here.)
