Carine Roitfeld Finger Puppet

Readers, in the event that you have been craving a Carine Roitfeld finger puppet, behold! Rubbish Magazine has created a set of yarn puppets all knit to fit the fingers and crafted to resemble some of the greatest editrixes in fashion including Carine, Grace Coddington (Vogue), Suzy Menkes (International Herald Tribune), and Katie Grand (Love). I do not think the likeness is exact, but the puppets are very cute. For only £49.99 they certainly ought to be cute...

Vogue Paris Translation: Editorial, October 2010

Here is my translation from French to English of the editorial that Carine Roitfeld penned in her own hand for the October issue of Vogue Paris. Though brief it is adorable and I am a completist so I wanted to include it here.

Si un seul mot devait résumer l'élégance, le luxe, l'audace, le désir et l'esprit, nul doute que ce serait Vogue ! Un miracle enchanté qui fête ses 90 ans.

If only one word were to sum up elegance, luxury, audacity, desire, and spirit, no doubt it would be Vogue! An enchanted miracle that celebrates 90 years.

Happy Birthday
Carine.

Carine Roitfeld At Céline

A thousand thanks to Adelap for alerting me to this video that she captured of Carine Roitfeld at Paris Fashion Week outside of the Céline show. Carine appears at 4:00 engaged in an animated conversation with Anna Dello Russo though we cannot actually hear the pair. Mostly the video provides an excellent opportunity to see the looks being worn on the streets of Paris during Fashion Week.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld In Grazia France

The latest issue of Grazia France (No. 60 dated 22 October 2010) features Julia Restoin-Roitfeld on the cover, what a beauty! I love how they chose to style Julia for the editorial with looks ranging from wholesome girl-next-door to total vamp, visit the gallery to view the entire article. I regret that the version I found is not large enough to read so I cannot translate the interview for you. Perhaps someone has a copy of the full-sized article they would be willing to share with us...

Vogue Paris November 2010: Natasha Poly

For the cover of the November issue of Vogue Paris, Carine Roitfeld selected Natasha Poly to interpret her vision of "Love & Peace." Far out, Carine! Mario Sorrenti manned the camera for the shoot. So far I have seen editorials featuring Freja Beha Erichsen as a blonde photographed by Hedi Slimane in "Temps libre" and by Terry Richardson in "La Geisha" (my favorite so far, sexy and pretty); Sasha Pivovarova by Mikael Jansson in "Un dimanche à la campagne;" and Iselin Steiro by David Sims in "Roller Girl." Cannot wait to see more...
