Carine Roitfeld: Die Frauen Von Paris

Oh do I love this editorial featuring Carine Roitfeld in the April 2002 issue of Vogue Germany. Karl Lagerfeld worked his magic behind the lens and L'Wren Scott styled the piece titled "Die Frauen von Paris" (or in English, "The women of Paris"). La Roitfeld appears barefoot wearing a cape from her own collection, très osé. In the article, Carine shares with us a few of her favorite spots in Paris so I have attempted to translate the text from German to English, please let me know if you can improve on my interpretation... I must say that she has excellent taste in gifts!

Meine bevorzugten Läden sind: die Lebensmittelabteilung Im ältesten Kaufhaus von Paris, die "Grand Épicerie — Le Bon Marché"; der Florist "Moulié" wegen der Orchideen und "Yves Saint Laurent" für meinen Liebsten. Zum Diner favorisiere ich das "Maison du Caviar". Antiquitäten und Flohmärkte suche ich nur noch im der Provinz. Zum Übernachten empfehle ich das Hotel "Raphaël". Das hübscheste Café ist im oberen Stock des "Flore". Mein Lieblingsbauwerk: die elegante Seine-Brücke Alexandre III. Ein interessantes Museum: das 1937 zur Weltausstellung gebaute Palais de Tokyo mit seiner berühmten Fotosammlung. Das schönste Souvenir? Ein Franzose!

My favorite shops are: the food section in the oldest department store in Paris, La Grand Épicerie - Le Bon Marché; the florist Moulié because of the orchids; and Yves Saint Laurent for my loved ones. For dinner I prefer La Maison du Caviar. For antiques and flea markets I look only in the province. To sleep, I recommend the Hotel Raphaël. The prettiest café is on the upper floor of the Flore. My favorite building: the elegant Seine-Bridge Alexandre III. An interesting museum: Palais de Tokyo built for the 1937 World Exposition and famous for its photo collection. The best gift? A Frenchman!

Carine Roitfeld: La Science Du Reve

Remember when Carine Roitfeld chose Charlotte Gainsbourg as the guest editor for the December 2007/January 2008 issue of Vogue Paris? It is a gorgeous issue and I would like to revisit an editorial that features Gainsbourg titled "La science du rêve" which I find especially beautiful. Styled by Carine and photographed by Craig McDean, Gainsbourg has a feminine, artful look that is quite the opposite of her typical casual attire; it is most becoming. As Carine writes, we know Charlotte in jeans and cowboy boots but like all great actresses she loves changing roles, taking on that of the more sophisticated femme fatale here.

Restoin-Roitfeld And Repossi In Chanel

Just a quickie: I love the contrast in this photograph of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Gaia Repossi wearing Chanel front row at Chanel as recently seen in Vogue China. Even their Czarina rings (designed by Repossi) contrast, Julia wearing gold and Gaia in silver. JRR's outfit is the ultimate in summer chic, je l'adore totalement.

Vogue Paris August 2010: Freja Beha Erichsen

Freja Beha Erichsen is clearly a favorite of Carine Roitfeld right now. Erichsen scored the cover of the August issue of Vogue Paris as shot by David Sims and also appears as the face of the current Vogue Paris Collections Automne-Hiver 2011. The Danish supermodel feels right at home wearing a knit cardigan trimmed in fur by Chanel to herald 64 looks to wear for winter. Additionally we have the exclusive opportunity to survey the private yacht of Giorgio Armani, quel plaisir...
