General info :
Carine Roitfeld (born September 19, 1954, Paris, France) is a French fashion editor. She is the former Editor In Chief of Vogue Paris, a position she held from 2001 to January 31, 2011.
A former fashion model and writer, she announced her resignation on December 17, 2010, and was succeeded by Emmanuelle Alt.
In 2012 she became founder and editor-in-chief of CR Fashion Book.

At 18, Roitfeld began modeling, having been scouted on a street in Paris by a British photographer's assistant. She became a writer and then a stylist for French Elle.

Roitfeld went on to work as a consultant for and muse to Tom Ford at Gucci and Yves Saint-Laurent for six years and also contributed to the images of Missoni, Versace, and Calvin Klein.

She was approached by Condé Nast's International Chairman Jonathan Newhouse to edit Vogue Paris in 2001.

She was listed as one of the fifty best-dressed over 50 by The Guardian in March 2013.

On 17 December 2010, Roitfeld resigned after ten years at Vogue Paris to concentrate on personal projects. She left the magazine at the end of January 2011. She was succeeded at Vogue Paris on 1 February 2011 by Emmanuelle Alt, who had served as fashion director under Roitfeld.

Roitfeld returned to freelance styling, working on both the Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 Chanel campaigns, took part in projects such as designing a window display for Barneys New York and compiled the large-format book Irreverent, published by Rizzoli in 2011.

She joined Harper's Bazaar as global fashion director in 2012.

The 2013 documentary Mademoiselle C documents Roitfeld's launch of her magazine CR.

Roitfeld and partner Christian Restoin have been together since the late 1970s, although they are not married. Restoin was the creator of the Equipment clothing line, which he closed in 2001 after Roitfeld accepted the Vogue editorship. The couple have two children.
