Review
"Roitfeld’s latest endeavor, Irreverent (Rizzoli), is an aptly titled 368-page album of photographs culled over her 30-year career. Among images from some of her most famous, and most provocative, shoots—including Eva Herzigova posing with a lot of bloody boeuf for The Face in 1997 and last year’s plastic-surgery story with Crystal Renn—are intimate, endearing snapshots of Roitfeld’s partner, Christian Restoin, and their children, Julia and Vladimir. (In Roitfeld’s world, the personal is the professional and vice versa.)" ~Vogue
"...a beautifully presented mix of collaged images, notes, Carine's personal photos..." ~New York Magazine
"As I close it, I’m reminded of a line from Sunset Boulevard: “We gave the world new ways to dream.” That is what Carine has given the world, and what this book will give forever. Cherish it." ~V Magazine

Book Description
"Carine, and her vision of French Vogue, embodies all that the world likes to think of as Parisian style: a sense of chic that's impeccable and sometimes idiosyncratic and which forever lives on a moonlit street as seen through the lens of Helmut Newton."--Anna Wintour Karl Lagerfeld once said that if you close your eyes and imagine the ideal French woman, it would be Carine Roitfeld. She is a fashion visionary and a muse. Since the start of her career in the early 1990s, through her collaborations with the legendary photographer Mario Testino, Roitfeld has been credited with launching Tom Ford's career at Gucci, as well as turning French Vogue into one of the industry's most worshipped magazines.
This elegant volume is a visual history of Roitfeld's fearless career. A daring instigator, she is known for pushing the limits with her subversive styling ideas. Featuring a selection of 250 magazine tear sheets and covers from pivotal editorial shoots and advertising campaigns, as well as intimate visual ephemera, this book gives an inside view into Roitfeld's creative thought process and sensibility. A must-have for those interested in cutting-edge fashion and femininity, this book will empower women to follow Roitfeld's lead and take risks with their personal style.

A Designer Scrapbook,
By Grady Harp - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent (Hardcover)
IRREVERENT is a strange title for Carine Roitfeld's book. Roitfeld is a legendary stylist and former editor in chief of French Vogue whose reputation is beginning to approach that of Alexander McQueen. Her fashion and style statements are a bit on the edgy side and her willingness to share secrets she has held with some famous names seems to be one of the reasons of the publication of this book. IRREVERENT is a 368-page collection of pages with pasted photographs from her 30-year career, plus personal photographs (one shows her topless, wearing nothing but a black G-string and white pumps) and notes from the likes of Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Tom FordCarine Roitfeld has stated that she's enjoying her moment in the spotlight: "I worked 20 years ago, and 20 years ago no one was talking about me. I didn't change. Maybe I was at the right moment. But sometimes I say, What is so interesting about me? I am just doing photo shoots. It's not something that extraordinary. I'm not a great artist, I'm not writing books, I'm not a painter, and people in the streets ask me for a picture or a note and I say why? But I think it's better to appreciate it, because maybe it's not forever." For the reader who relishes Parisian couture and style this book of memorabilia will satisfy. She has been called both a style visionary and the instigator of dramatic change in clothing and body attitudes. For others, this may seem a picture book that is somewhat in the line of vanity press, but that is also Roitfeld's style. Art critic and curator Oliver Zahm and fashionista Alex Wiederin contribute to this book. Grady Harp, December 11 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Stunning and breathtaking,
By Daoudmac "Daoudmac" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent (Hardcover)
Anyone who can appreciate fashion and what it takes to put together incredible images will be in love with this book as I am. I received it as a present and it took my breath away. To have Carine Roitfeld give her insight in short along with each editorial was amazing. To see the images her and Testino and other photographers have worked together with will go down in iconic history just as Helmut Newton, Avedon, Penn have. The images are wonderful and to see them all collected here with her wonderful insights to each editorial she worked on is brilliant. Cathy Horyn's essay is brilliant as well. Anyone who loves fashion and editorials will love this. Her work is outstanding and her vision is a real gift to fashion and great photography.
