Carine Roitfeld collaborates with Barneys

The rumors about the Roitfeld's future have been buzzing since she decided to leave Vogue Paris; someone wanted her next to Tom Ford, or as creative director for Yves Saint Laurent or to replace John Galliano at Christian Dior. Instead, the next role of Carine Roitfeld will be that of guest editor and stylist for Barneys New York, one of the most important US department store.

Carine Roitfeld shifts to retail world and will style the fall/winter 2011-2012 ad campaign shot by photographer Mario Sorrenti.

Carine Roitfeld leaves Vogue Paris

The news was given by http://www.vogue.fr/. After 10 years, Carine Roitfeld has decided to leave Vogue Paris to follow her personal projects. Under her leadership, and in a short time, the magazine had become a reference point for anyone. She gave to the magazine a new, sensual and Paris cut, thanks to her experience as a stylist and collaborations with the best photographer and fashion designer. Carine Roitfeld, Mario Testino and Tom Ford have made sensational fashion stories. Vogue Paris will miss her insight, talent and her editorials. A new era begins and it's not for the better.

Tom & Terry: gay kiss for Vogue Paris

The set of this kiss was the same of the shooting "Wild West" for the December issue of Vogue Paris.

The French edition of Vogue has always played with sexual ambiguity and sex in general, especially since Carine Roitfeld is the editor-in-chief. Terry Richardson and Tom Ford have collaborated often with Vogue Paris, increasing the erotic charge of the magazine.

For this shooting, Tom Ford has been involved in all: photos, styling and contents and also the photographer Terry Richardson was on the set. Richardson gave a Brokeback Mountain kiss to Texan designer and took the photo.

Some people consider this picture the best in the career of Richardson. Exaggeration!

Richardson doesn't always produce images of high-class, but this is not the best picture although it's very ironic.
