Carine Roitfeld: Choose Your Icon

In the January 2011 issue, Vogue Nippon includes a feature titled "Choose Your Icon" and being a woman with exquisite taste, Anna Dello Russo chose Carine Roitfeld as her icon. I am in love with this photograph of Carine by Karl Lagerfeld, the clarity of her strength and her femininity here is overpowering. Incroyable.

Anna, Carine and Grace - what a great issue! Carine looks so pretty, love the sensible suit and slightly longer hair (or maybe it's the pose). Not loving those long nails though, but otherwise gorgeous.

What a beautiful picture, she looks stunning in the Chanel! Beautiful hair as always, I like this photo. I think Anna had been working with Carine in the past. She is right, Carine is an icon.

Milla, so glad you like this one! I tend to agree with you about the nails, they are a bit talon.

Thank you for your comment, Maya! Carine is stunning in Chanel, I do not recall seeing her in this label often and it suits her.

AdR says on her blog that CR is to her the 'quintessential classical French woman'. Right she is and I ADORE her in the Chanel.

I think it is safe to say that AdR speaks for most of us here!!

Queen Carine, long may she reign!!

I've often wondered about that Kellina, she rarely wears Chanel. Do you think it has something to do with Anna W practically living in it? Also, maybe for our Carine, it's just too classic... What do you think?

You raise a wonderful question, Milla. The absence of Chanel in CR's wardrobe is notable. She is close with Karl Lagerfeld so this is doubly confusing... I really can't wager a guess as to why.
