Fashion Addict are not the only ones to have a crush on Carine Roitfeld. Gawker announce their unbridled affection for Carine, feelings shaped by Roitfeld’s frank words on the fashion industry:

“They have to sell bags, bags, bags, bags, bags, bags. I hate handbags.”
[Translation: I don’t give a shit about about Marc Jacobs’ quilted Stella bag.]

• “Maybe if you write it, they send me some [pants]. You never know. My size is small.”
[Translation: I’m adorably shameless.]

• “Botox? No. I don’t like Botox. It makes a very strange forehead.”
[Translation: I fear Nicole Kidman.]

• “Every day you have to think you are a soldier. It’s true. Always have to fight. I’m fighting to keep a level to the magazine.”
[Translation: Reese Witherspoon does not belong on my cover.]

• On why she doesn’t wear fur: “Because it has a smell.”
[Translation: It’s not about PETA.]

• On being shy: “I keep my hair down as my protection. With a drink it is better. I am very fun after one glass of vodka. I am more beautiful, too.”
[Translation: I’m just a normal drunk!]

• And, on Anna Wintour: “She taught me a lot. Maybe she think I go up too much, I don’t know… I want good relations with her. But…”
[Translation: I’m just as afraid of her as you are.]
