The current issue of ny mag is the spring fashion issue. The inside is filled with tons of great articles, one about the gilt groupe's affect on fashion, story and photos of julia and vladimir roitfeld, an interview with anna dello russo, tons of fashion week pics, a story about lorenzo martone, and of course the usual tid bits included in the magazine...my favorite being the real estate in the back pages. You can order back issues online...or sign up for a subscription. I strongly suggest the latter, as it's one of the things I looked forward to most every week!
Carine Roitfeld photographed as Marchesa Casati, by Karl Lagerfeld.
And a quote from Carine about Cartier: "Do you know why? Because Cartier is the jewelry you give to your mistress. It is not the jewelry you buy for your wife. I heard that and it might be totally wrong, but it is this idea and I love Cartier because of that."
She is truly an imagist. And has been referred to as the most stylish woman in Paris.
Her style is a mix of 20's and 30's glamour, with a splash of Bea Arthur via The Golden Girls....she invented eccentricity. And the way I feel about her can only be expressed in her own words, "J'ADORE DARLING!"
When asked to describe herself in 5 words she said, "An ejaculation of lifestylizations, DAAAAAAAAAArling!" If for nothing else, you must love her for that.
Her use of kimonos and turbans is BEYOND inspiring. (photo cred: the glamourai, streetpeeper, jakandjil, tfs, google images.)
(im posting this pic because ive had it forever and ive always thought the table is such a perfect compliment to his character and personality. it's also the first image that popped into my head when i heard the news. ill do a full tribute post soon.)
