Hard to believe this lady is a grandma! The former EIC of French Vogue — and longtime muse to Tom Ford — ushered in an extreme, sexy style that Roitfeld herself dubbed, “porno chic.” These totally audacious, NSFW images not only increased the magazine’s circ numbers during a recession but landed Carine in the style hall of fame as someone always willing to push the envelope.

Carine Roitfeld, born September 19, 1954, in Paris, France. Editor in Chief of CR Fashion-Book (as of 2012), was the editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris from 2001 to January 31, 2011. A former fashion model and writer, she announced her resignation on December 17, 2010; she was succeeded by Emmanuelle Alt.
