Mademoiselle C follows the life of Carine Roitfeld and her journey from leaving her position as Editor-in-chief at Vogue Paris to starting her own magazine/book entitled "CR Fashion Book". Directed by Fabien Constant, the documentary almost compares to The September Issue with exclusive access into the elite's lives within the fashion industry.
The opening sequence see's Carine Roitfeld revealing her brand new magazine before the launch and then it flashes back to six months prior. Carine speaks of her impending grandchild and the importance of birth, not only in life but the re-birth of her image in fashion after leaving Vogue.
Cameo's inclue Tom Ford (whom she previously was his muse), Karl Lagerfeld, Kanye West, Jean Paul Gaultier and Anna Wintour to name a few. The documentary showed her personality shine through and gave a great insight into the glamorous world in which she is respected by her peers.
Exclusive access on her shoots for the magazine shows how hand-on she is with the whole process
Previous to watching the documentary, I was familiar with her work at French Vogue and had even come to face-to-face with her at London Fashion Week. The documentary really opened up her personality to me, she seemed more warm and open than my previous perceptions of her. I would've like more background knowledge on her such as her past work at Vogue and how she got into the business. Overall, the documentary gave a fantastic insight into the fashion world and it's glamorous parties and the work and inspiration behind some of the biggest fashion shoots in the world.
