Carine Roitfeld: Top Ten Fashion Icon

Style.com has announced a list of the ten most influential icons in fashion over the last decade internationally and of course they chose Carine Roitfeld. How does she define her iconic look? Bare legs; teetering heels; big fur chubby; short, short dress; all black. And don't forget key accessory daughter Julia. I love how she wears her heart on her sleeve: the labels in her closet that Carine specifies include Givenchy, Tom Ford-era Gucci, and Equipment by her partner Christian Restoin.

Ewww, is that Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen? At least I think I see Catherine Deneuve in the mix with Carine.
Oops, my bad, it's actually crazy Chloe Sevigny masquerading as Catherine Deneuve.
Ha ha, Michael! What do you think of Lady Gaga's silver lobster?
; )
Apparently Lady Gaga got most of her fashion sense from the movie "Brazil".
Heh, you are on tonight, sweetness.
Where's Alexa Chung?
Good question, Kate! I guess Mademoiselle Chung has not influenced enough of the entire decade for the judges' taste. Maybe next time!
; )
I can't get over the fact that SJP is not Carrie. I mean we all got inspired by Carrie, but how many people copied the style of SJP? I do love her casual/ off duty looks (combat pants, cosy sweaters and UGG boots) and she looks amazing in Halston, but Carrie wins!
Oh Le Choix Trois, I must confess I have never really found SJP or Carrie that inspiring. I know I am in the minority, but Sex and the City does not appeal to me at all. Not sure why...
Carine: The photo is perfectly her with the shoes, knee-length pencil skirt, fur to make PETA want to cry and heels. Personally, her Carine-loves-Milla-hates Azzedine Alaïa heels would have been even better to show our Carine's true style & iconic pieces.
My view on Alexa is pretty much the same as yours on Carrie. I don't get the hype. I agree with LCT; like her style or not, Carrie is the icon, not SJP. Lady Gaga, I so want to comment but I am in a state of confusion because I think I just saw Jennifer Lopez on the list. Seriously!? I think they just threw her in to ensure that we were paying attention! We've noticed, now please get rid!
LOL, Milla thank you for your incisive comments! I do think the photo they chose is iconic Carine and personally I am glad it is these shoes, I think they are even more flattering than her beloved Alaïas.
Maybe I should actually watch an entire episode of SATC...
; )
JLo?! You kidding me?! I think simply one more interrobang will convey my thoughts nicely...
?!
