"I'm very French," she says. "In America, they're not even allowed to show a hint of nipple in photos. Anna Wintour is the most powerful woman in the global fashion industry, the first lady of fashion. She's a politician; I'm a stylist. They are two very different jobs. Incidentally, despite all the rumours, she is actually very nice."
Since her departure from French Vogue in December last year, Roitfeld has begun working on a number of new projects - including a photo-based autobiography co-written with Olivier Zahm, a guest editor and stylist role for Barneys, and also squeezing in the time to style Karl Lagerfeld's autumn/winter 2011-12 Chanel campaign. When it comes to fashion advice, she has one steadfast tip.
"If you don't want to make any mistakes, buy black clothes," she tells German news site SPIEGEL.DE/INTERNATIONAL. "That's always good. And from age 50 on, you can slowly start adding a little beige. That's softer. Every five years, you should take a critical look at your own wardrobe and, if necessary, eventually swap your bikini for a one-piece swimsuit. There comes a time in your life when you even have to consider that. You should always be one of the best, whatever your age group. That may mean staying away from the beach."
"I had no idea how unhappy John Galliano must have been," she says. You have to be very unhappy and lonely to praise Hitler in public while completely drunk. But drunkenly shouting 'I love Hitler' and calling people in a bar a 'dirty Jew-face' is unacceptable. I don't think he really believes what he said; they were simply the actions of a drunk."
