Carine Roitfeld Never Calls Herself Feminist

What's the difference between sexy and skanky? "I think the problem of the world is sexy changed a bit. When I started 20 years ago, 30 years ago, sexy [had a] very different meaning from today," said Carine Roitfeld, global fashion director of Harper's Bazaar and editor of CR Fashion Book, at the unveiling of a new Mercedes in Lincoln Center's fashion week tents. "Now 'sexy' is trashy, it's not very beautiful — it's on the limit of vulgar," added Roitfeld, who some still call the "Queen of Porno Chic" (though she prefers "Erotic Chic"), because of her provocative fashion editorials. "I¹m very covered! Not to show everything, that¹s my idea of sexy today."

Roitfeld added that "feminist" is still not in her vocabulary. "I love if someone invites me to a restaurant so I don¹t know if that¹s a feminist," she said, in her accented English. "But I really believed in the word in Europe — I don¹t know what you call it in America — matriarchal. You know it¹s very important, the role of a mother… I don¹t know but it¹s feminism to me to love your kids."

At the premiere of Mademoiselle C. in New York Friday night, Roitfeld also brought up motherhood during interviews on the red carpet. "She's a very very good mother," Roitfeld said of Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, when reporters prodded about their alleged rivalry. "When my kids came to New York in the beginning she was very nice with them and she'd invite them for lunch or dinner. This we never forget. It's a mother complicity and I like that."

Roitfeld recently put new mom Kim Kardashian on the cover of CR Fashion Book, but said she couldn't foresee featuring her baby, North. "It's not Momma. Maybe another magazine. I love babies," she explained. Despite all the flack Kim receives for not being "high fashion" — fueled undoubtedly by the floral dress she wore to this year's Met Gala, prompting the entire internet to "compare her to a couch" — Roitfeld said that she "was very easy to work with. A very good model. "
