Mademoiselle C Poster

According to the Mademoiselle C Countdown Clock, we have just under 28 days left to suffer until the release and today we have the official film poster to help pass the time. I find it interesting that the decision was made to recycle this image of Carine Roitfeld, originally shot by Karl Lagerfeld for Interview Magazine, rather than selecting a still from the film itself. Of course, how would one improve on this timeless image of the exquisite creature that is Mademoiselle C…  And the way she steps out of that C… The tagline compels: "Plongez dans l'universe de Carine Roitfeld la plus iconique des rédactrices de mode," or in English, "Dive into the universe of Carine Roitfeld, the most iconic of fashion editors." Readying my bathing suit and cap, bring it on!

I love reading Carine's thoughts when asked about the film by Media Bistro: “Fabien brought up the idea of the project when I was launching my new magazine. I had just left Vogue was starting everything over. I found that period interesting. I said ‘yes’ instinctively, without really thinking about what it meant.” What does she think of director Fabien Constant? “I like his sense of humor and the fact that he doesn’t look at people who work in fashion with a critical eye. He doesn’t judge us. He just blended into the scenery”, but our favorite editor may not be as comfortable with the images themselves: “Pictures can be Photoshopped. It’s harder to do with movies. I’m so used to controlling everything, the hardest part was being shot from a less-than-flattering angle.” La Roitfeld was happy with at least one moment of Mademoiselle C: “When I’m singing in Russian, I’m quite proud of that. I think that I’m singing pretty well and it’s one of the lighter moments in the movie.” Я не могу ждать...
