Carine Roitfeld, What's Next?

The most fascinating of interviews with Carine Roitfeld has just appeared on Style.com's Style File blog, and I believe it's the first in-depth article about her future, and where she is going after French Vogue.

Carine, truly one of fashions greatest influencers.

Of change in fashion, here is what she had to say:

"Everything is going so quick now with the Internet, with the blogs. It’s very important. There are two possibilities; either you go very quick to the Internet or you go to magazines and you make it like a collector’s item. [I still think] it’s very normal to have all these fashion weeks and to go to all these shows. Can you show them through movies? I don’t think this is possible. It’s very exciting to be at the runway, to hear the music, to feel the atmosphere, to feel what people like or don’t like. Even if there are too many shows—I would love if there were less shows—I think we have to live with the shows. But after, maybe there is another way to make fashion stories."

In the interview Carine is very honest about what is going on in her life, the magazine, and the fact that she isn't on speaking terms to the new editor Emmanuelle Alt (SHOCKER!)

The end of the interview is really my favorite part, where Carine really opens up about herself,

"People sometimes think I’m very cold, but I’m not. I’m a very shy person. When people know me, I’m not cold; I’m quite a nice person. It’s difficult as the editor of a magazine to be totally yourself because you’re a bit frightened. Now I think I go back where I was ten years ago, so I get younger, which is always good. Younger with dreams and younger with energy. Younger with risk, because now it will be my own risk; it won’t be Vogue’s risk. Always I will be a risky woman. I will keep this legend."
