Only 483 hours remaining until the long awaited release of Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent and here is the subject of my favorite book posed with a display in her honor at Colette in Paris. Carine will be signing advance copies of her forthcoming biography at Colette for one hour this Saturday, 1 October from 15:00 to 16:00; please let me know if you are among the blessed, I live for the vicarious thrill.
I don't know about you, but I began awaiting Carine's biography in March 2010 when it was first announced as Album of A Woman of Fashion. I will be very interested to see if any of our questions made the pages of Irreverent. In case you missed it the first time, here are the questions I sent to Purple in hopes of being answered by Carine herself.
- Can you give us an example of the foods and beverages that you consume regularly, particularly those that you consider staples?
- Do you practice Pilates at home or with a group? How regularly and for what duration do you practice?
- What advice would you give to an aspiring writer? Stylist? Editor-in-chief?
- What beauty products do you use faithfully?
- What questions do you have for your readers?
- What do you want for your birthday?
- Describe for us a moment that you remember in a breathtaking natural setting: how did it feel, look, smell? What were you wearing?
- What are your ten (or so) favorite albums? Films? Books?
- If you were to change your name, what would it become?
- Do you know how much your fans love you? Keep up your brilliant work!!
