Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent At Colette

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.

1. Can you give us an example of the foods and beverages that you consume regularly, particularly those that you consider staples?
2. Do you practice Pilates at home or with a group? How regularly and for what duration do you practice?
3. What advice would you give to an aspiring writer? Stylist? Editor-in-chief?
4. What beauty products do you use faithfully?
5. What questions do you have for your readers?
6. What do you want for your birthday?
7. Describe for us a moment that you remember in a breathtaking natural setting: how did it feel, look, smell? What were you wearing?
8. What are your ten (or so) favorite albums? Films? Books?
9. If you were to change your name, what would it become?
10. Do you know how much your fans love you? Keep up your brilliant work!!
