\"Mademoiselle-C-Carine-Roitfeld\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you, like me, have an unabashed fervor for all things fashion, then it is highly unlikely that you\u2019ve not on some level become enamored of Carine Roitfeld. If not for the singularity of the vision she brought to French Vogue for a decade, then perhaps for the fact that she was the muse for both fashion icon Tom Ford and the house of Yves Saint Laurent.<\/p>\n

Or maybe even you know her because she has consistently been named one of the world\u2019s best-dressed women for eons or perchance you recall the rampant rumors that Roitfeld had for a time been tipped to replace American Vogue Editor, Anna Wintour, as the storyline of the box office smash The Devil Wears Prada<\/i> so wickedly suggested.\u00a0 Whatever the reason you know Carine Roitfeld, it is undeniable that it has something to do with the fact that her name is synonymous with<\/i> fashion.\u00a0 That said, how much do we really know about her?<\/p>\n

Unlike her former counterpart, Anna Wintour, Mlle Roitfeld has remained a more elusive character to those outside fashion circles, where she is a lioness of nearly unparalleled import.\u00a0 That is until now.<\/p>\n

With the release of the documentary Mademoiselle C<\/i> <\/a>late last year, the curtains were drawn back, at least partially, on the woman who at 58 years-old has been described as \u201cthe sexiest girl in fashion.\u201d On the one hand, the film sheds a light on Roitfeld\u2019s inner circle of friends which includes the likes of Donatella Versace, Tom Ford, Karl Lagerfeld, Mario Testino, Riccardo Tisci, Diane Von Furstenberg, and Alexander Wang, demonstrating what a fashion heavyweight she really is. On the other, the documentary manages to show the human side of the fashion icon, who is also a partner to Christian Restoin, her mate of the last 30 years, a mother, a grandmother and a confidante.<\/p>\n
