Carine Roitfeld in 2008: “My best quality is to be stylist. I never think about this career, this big job,” she says. “I never wanted to be what I am today, and I will not die in the position.”
I guess it isn’t too surprising that Carine Roitfeld decided to retire from a job most girls in publishing and fashion strive to be in, but still, I am both saddened and amazed by her strength and influence:
“I’m not a business girl,” Roitfeld says. “I will never be a business girl, but I will say, for Anna Wintour, that I respect successful people, I like things that are success. But this is really American.”
