Carine Roitfeld: The Ultimate Gold Collection
vendredi 24 mai 2013 
Carine Roitfeld shined in Cannes this week as she bestowed her golden touch upon "The Ultimate Gold Collection Fashion Show," the runway extravaganza that she organized as a special benefit for amfAR as part of their 20th Annual Cinema Against AIDS event. Many of the world's top models shimmered in custom metallic gowns, many of which were gold as advertised although some of the dresses were silver or even lilac; all of the gowns were auctioned as part of the evening, raising more than $1.5 million dollars. For herself, Carine Roitfeld chose a Comme des Garçons top and a Rick Owens skirt. When asked about her decision to feature the precious metal for this year's fundraiser, Carine explained: “I have themed the collection around the color gold — because it represents warmth, love and success…For me, this is really a tribute to Elizabeth Taylor. When you think of her in Cleopatra, you have this very powerful image of gold and beauty… I picked the gold theme because gold is extraordinary. Since it's the 20th year of this event, I thought people should walk away with an incredible memory."
