This is Carine Roitfeld, who used to edit French Vogue. For those of you who are "The Devil Wears Prada" fans, the French rival of Miranda Priestly, Jacqueline Follet, was supposed to be Carine who was long assumed to be waiting in the wings to take over American Vogue from Anna Wintour. She's since left French Vogue and seems to be picking up work randomly, being featured here as "Bazaar's global fashion director," whatever that means.
I don't really know how I feel about Carine, style-wise. In general I see her wearing different pieces that I love, but when she pulls together a whole ensemble I just don't get it. Here I find the skirt interesting and the shoes are great, but the jacket with it makes the whole thing look matronly.
And then Bazaar one-ups her by pulling together an even more matronly suggestion. I'm okay with the necklace and jacket, they don't capture the whimsy of Carine's outfit but they aren't terrible and coordinate, but the skirt with they picked to go with it is so bleh and the shoes (which are literally everywhere and I've shown here before) would just be awful with everything else. Bad job, Bazaar!
