Style Watch: Carine Roitfeld

Carine Roitfeld's, CR Fashion Book
Another person making continual moves in their lives is Carine Roitfeld. If you recall in March, I had highlighted her as an IMF.blog Style Maven, for in my fashion, she does an excellent job of making the right moves in her career by knowing when to exit, and always looking toward her next stepping stone of life. As we know, Ms. Roitfeld had left her position as Paris Vogue’s Editor-in-Chief  in the latter part of 2011, and she has her own fashion magazine in the making with publisher, Fashion Media Group LLC (publisher of Visionaire, V, and VMan), which will be called, CR Fashion Book (CR for short). As reported by the New York Magazine’s fashion blog, The Cut, Roitfeld describes her new magazine as a definite departure from Vogue, which will be “trendy and timeless”, “not necessarily safer, but different”, with an edge that is “more mental than physical”. I am anxious to view what perspectives Roitfeld will incorporate into the CR Fashion Book. The link to a video that has been circulating on the web of a behind the scene view of a photo shoot for the magazine is below. The CR is slated to debut this September.

Style Maven: Carine Roitfeld

In my fashion, the Vogue woman is a woman who uses fashion to their advantage in the world. She uses clothes to supplement and propel her to the next level of her life. She expresses her importance through the solidarity of her stylistic invention. She allows her clothes to speak for her and say everything she needs to say to the world without even having to part her lips. A Vogue woman doesn't associate her style with just anything, but instinctively knows what is good for her, and has a good reason for why or why not a piece is good for them. Clothes represent her main medium of communicating with others in the world. In Paris, Carine Roitfeld, ex-Editor-in-Chief of Paris Vogue,  is the epitome of this definition. Watch the video to view a personified version of my definition below.

that likes fashion is." ~ Mario Testino
