Carla Bruni praises Emmanuelle Alt’s “feminine” look

By emilyborrett on August 31st, 2011

The French first lady of style, Carla Bruni, has praised her old friend and new editor of French Vogue Emmanuelle Alt for her femininity.

Carla and Emmanuelle have been firm friends since their teens – but while Carla’s look has matured, she insists that her good friend Emmanuelle is still as girlish as ever thanks to her refusal to succumb to plastic surgery and heavy makeup.

Carla said about the Vogue editor: “There is still something of a teenager about her. Emmanuelle has an unaffected way to be feminine. She doesn’t wear make-up and hasn’t had surgery.”

Emmanuelle Alt has taken the helm at French Vogue after Carine Roitfeld’s reign as editor recently ended. As a well-shod expert on the sartorial, Emmanuelle was the perfect candidate to take over at the iconic magazine – and Carla Bruni agrees, saying that the editor knows what French women want from fashion.

She told Vogue magazine: “She reflects how French women are feeling – simplicity is the state we all want to be in. We are tired of useless sophistication.”

A certain raven-haired French beauty has been popping up at every event recently, and it’s about time we showed her some respect for her darkly glamorous and sexy approach to fashion. Yep, it’s It-girl Julia Restoin Roitfeld, poster girl for Tom Ford and daughter of the brilliant Carine. She’s been silently and mysteriously popping up in the front row for all the biggest fashion shows now, hanging out with the likes of Leigh Lezark and other fashion glitterati, but for some reason unknown we haven’t written a “Get the look” for her yet. So here you go, readers!

What we love about Julia, despite enviably good genes and very shiny hair, is her slightly shambolic approach to fashion. Swathes of black lace, trailing skirts, witch boots and slightly fetish-y leather are all key essentials to her look, no matter what the occasion. Reminiscent of the likes of Mary-Kate Olsen and Helena Bonham-Carter before her, Julia has the ability to look as if whatever she’s wearing has just been thrown on at the last minute. She may wear little to no colour, ever, but when the goth look is working so well for you why stop?

Luckily for any hopeful copycats, you don’t need to be the friend of a trillion designers like Julia to achieve this look – the gothic lace trend is still going strong on  the high street at totally affordable prices, and little black dresses will never go out of fashion. If you want to give dressing like Julia a go, check out the gallery above for our favourite pieces. And when it comes to dressing head to toe in lace and sheer peekaboo fabrics, pile it on – when it comes to the Restoin Roitfeld school of fashion, more is more.

Cameras have been following everyone who is anyone around this season. From Coco Rocha for E! to a permanent crew shadowing Anna Wintour’s every footsteps, it seems the key accessory for Fall 2009 might just be a video camera. French Vogue‘s Carine Roitfeld has been the subject of a CNN profile, which has traced her movements around Milan and Paris fashion weeks for its Revealed programme. A sneak peek of that forthcoming show, scheduled to air here on the 18th March at 4:30 am EST, has surfaced online. Click play on the clip above to watch. [via Fashionologie]

Paris and Nicky Hilton, Anna Wintour and Bee Shaffer, Carine Roitfeld take in Justin Timberlake’s William Rast

By Andrea Thatcher on February 17th, 2009

I guess I can’t judge Bee Shaffer for giggling with her mother (Anna Wintour) in between looking utterly disinterested in the fashions at the William Rast show, considering I spent half my time twittering about who was in the front row and taking these pictures. Nicky and Paris Hilton seem to be making the rounds, and this was my first official sighting of both Wintour and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld. Plus, there was the added bonus of seeing Justin Timberlake come out and take a bow at the end. (Check out a video of the show here!)

By Kimberley Foster on December 3rd, 2008

annawintour_obe.jpgIt looks like that we’ll be getting to see that Vogue documentary after all. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the documentary, created by R.J. Cutler, has made the line-up for the 2009 Sundance Film Festival next January.

We also now have a title, The September Issue, which as it says, focuses on the preparations for Vogue‘s spring 2007 issue. It was filmed with the full cooperation of Anna Wintour and her staff, so expect to see the lady herself in her natural environment. Cue major excitement!

It’s been a heady week for Vogue‘s editor-in-chief with rumors rife that she was about to give up her crown to French editor, Carine Roitfeld. To find out the latest, read on…
