According to a news post on vogue.fr, French Vogue editor-in-chief
and stylist Carine Roitfeld is set to leave the magazine, with her
departure effective in just a few weeks. The president of Condé Nast
international and Condé Nast France reported:
“Carine left a mark on the history of Vogue Paris thanks to her
incredible talent as a stylist and editor-in-chief. I regret Carine’s
decision, even if I understand it. One page turns and a new step begins
for this solid and powerful brand that is sure of its values.”
The iconic voguette had already accumilated ten years at Vogue under
her Hermes belt. Under her leadership the magazine became a wordwide
reference and a must-have magazine for each month. She built connections
between the brand and some of the biggest photographers in the world,
such as Testino and Richardson.
New York magazine’s spring 2008 fashion issue included a short
profile of Carine, which gave everyone an inclination that this day was
coming:
“My best quality is to be stylist. I never think about this career,
this big job,” she said. “I never wanted to be what I am today, and I
will not die in the position.” She still finds the idea of an office
with a door where she’s expected every day somewhat troubling. She
claimed that all she ever wanted was to be surrounded by very attractive
people and expensive clothes. It’s always been “fashion, fashion,
fashion”.
She also stated that she thought the fashion world had become a bit
boring due to there being “so much money”. “When you go to shows they
want to sell so many handbags, and for me, well, I do not like handbags.
I do not wear handbags. It is not a nice look, to carry a handbag.”
There have already been rumours flying around that Carine has left to
work for Tom Ford, but we’ll have to wait and see. What’s your opinion
on Carine leaving, and who do you think would be a good replacement?
