“Forget trendy designer labels. Jeans, a sweater
or a t-shirt worn under a jacket that
seems welded
to you.
When it’s just right, when you don’t
see the effort, it’s irresistible”
– Emmanuelle Alt

Succeeding Carine Roitfeld as the editor-in-chief of Vogue
Paris in February 2011, Emmanuelle Alt has surely come far in the fashion world. Beginning at the tender age of 17, she was
working at French Elle, and then at 20 Ans, a French monthly magazine for young
women, becoming the editor-in-chief there in 1993. She held that position for five years, and
from there moved onto the magazine, Mixte, where she styled editorials. Roitfeld had picked up Alt straight from that
magazine to work as fashion director of Vogue Paris in 2000. Alt also had many side projects, mostly in a
freelance setting. These included
consulting for top fashion houses such as Balmain, Isabel Marant, and Giuseppe
Zanotti. She brought her rocker attitude
and appeal to the brands and turned up the hot notch on them, elevating the
designers to the top of fashion’s radar.

Emmanuelle Alt is a true Parisienne. Her style is rock ‘n’ roll, with a youthful,
makeup free appearance. She is often
seen in skinny jeans, a loose t-shirt tucked into her jeans, a blazer, and the
hottest heels around. With every brand
at her fingertips, she still decides to wear Topshop jeans a lot, saying they
are “the best in the world” (vogue.com).
