Mademoiselle C The Life and Work of Fashion Editor Carine Roitfeld
Carine Roitfeld ran French Vogue for 10 years, building a reputation as one of fashion's most influential movers. Her inner circle of friends includes Donatella Versace, Tom Ford, Karl Lagerfeld, Diane von Furstenberg and Alexander Wang. Yet few people outside the fashion world have heard of her...until now.
MADEMOISELLE C chronicles Carine's launch of her new magazine "CR Fashion Book." It gives a rare inside glimpse at the inner workings not only of Roitfeld's professional world, but also her personal life, filled with the models, celebrities, and eccentric personalities that make the fashion world so entertaining.
"Roitfeld seems constantly inspired by the prospect of pushing boundaries and expectations, and that, in turn, is inspiring to watch." - Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com
"For fashion junkies, Mademoiselle C will be like five September issues of Vogue all rolled into one." - Cath Clarke, Time Out
