Vogue Paris September 2010: Marion Cotillard

Carine Roitfeld chose French actress Marion Cotillard to appear on the cover of the September issue of Vogue Paris and she looks exotic and gorgeous. The editorial promises that we will see Paris through her eyes, I cannot wait for her perspective. It seems Juliette Gréco has a secret to share which is also enticing. The September issue will hit the newsstands August 26.

Be sure to read Milla's fabulous review of the September issue of Vogue Paris, she makes it tough to wait for a copy of your own...

I am thrilled to read that Alexa Chung appears in "Une Fille Un Style" in the September issue of Vogue Paris, outstanding choice! I will definitely be translating this one, j'adore totalement la fille, le style.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld Fronts Lancome

Who is the hotty on the left hiding behind those Ray Bans? Yes, it is none other than Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, the new face of Lancôme along with her beau, Robert Konjic. Julia has been chosen to front the latest makeup collection for Lancôme by L'Wren Scott titled Ultra Lavande. Mario Testino (also Julia's godfather) will shoot the campaign for the collection. Julia's fresh beauty makes her a perfect brand ambassador for the Lancôme line of products and I look forward to the first images from the campaign. In the meantime, it is nice to see Julia heeding her mother's words of wisdom and enjoying the summer.

I wonder if Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's "Summer Mix Tape" is playing on her boombox...

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld On Mark Fast

The lucky journalists at Grazia are spending the day with Julia Restoin-Roitfeld as she works to prepare the lookbook for Mark Fast's latest collection which he has named his Faster line. In the interview with Grazia, Julia discusses her thoughts on first discovering the sexy dresses by Fast and her gig as his creative consultant among other fascinating topics. Love the Chloé boots that she is wearing (though they are cut off in this photo). Tomorrow Grazia will feature an interview with Mark Fast as well so be sure to check back then.

Carine Roitfeld's Library

Behold the library of Carine Roitfeld or what we can see of it anyway. Of course she has the requisite issues of Vogue Paris much like we saw in her daughter Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's library although hers are stacked on the coffee table rather than the floor. What is more surprising is that most of the books on Carine's shelves appear to be in English and focus on photography and art with a dash of fashion, again mirroring Julia's collection. I regret that I cannot decipher more of the titles but the type is simply too small.

Aside: why has Todd Selby not yet photographed Carine's elegant home for us? He did such an amazing job when he shot Julia's apartment, more than 60 gorgeous photos of minimal splendor. Let's see his perspective of Carine... The photograph shown here comes from a beautiful book titled New Paris Interiors which showcases the apartment of Carine and partner Christian Roitfeld as well as the homes of many other tasteful and influential Parisians.

Vogue Paris Translation: Editorial, August 2010

Below is my translation from French to English of Carine Roitfeld's editorial for the August issue of Vogue Paris. The images that she chose to illustrate her text are portraits of the nine models used for the editorial of 64 total looks. I would have translated the passage for you sooner but unbelievably I have yet to receive my copy from my subscription by mail! I finally bought the issue at the newsstand because I could not wait (or risk missing it altogether in the likely event that my subscription issue fails to arrive). So apologies for the delay and curses to Amazon.com's magazine subscription service. Happy summer...

C'est le plein été et la rentrée est un horizon lointain auquel on ne souhaite pas penser. L'heure est à la détente, à la vie en roue libre, au sommeil des responsabilités. Pour accompagner cet état d'esprit de farniente, nous vous offrons une promenade en mer exclusive sur le nouveau yacht de Giorgio Armani : un vaisseau high-tech vert profond, minimalisme ultra-raffiné, qui démode tous les spécimens marins des autres milliardaires. Un cadre idyllique pour des vacances nomades en méditerranée.

Ne pas penser à la rentrée, d'accord, mais pourquoi se priver de ce qu'elle réserve de plus excitant ? A commencer par ses contours mode. Suite au succès colossal rencontré par le numéro d' août de l'année dernière, nous avons à nouveau sélectionné 64 total looks de créateurs interprétés par David Sims et la rédaction pour toutes les circonstances de la vie trépidante d' une femme active au style sans concession. Et histoire que le cerveau ne soit pas en reste, tous les temps forts culturels de l'automne sont au rendez-vous : Woody Allen, Bret Easton Ellis, Tilda Swinton, la révélation Lea, etc. Sans oublier un petit guide indispensable des adresses favorites des stars aux quatre coins du globe. C'est le plein été, une vue plongeante sur la rentrée grâce à Vogue. Vous n'allez pas vous ennuyer.

Summer is in full swing and its end is a remote horizon that one does not wish to consider. It is the time for relaxation, the freewheeling life, the slumber of responsibilities. To accompany this state of the spirit of idleness, we offer you an exclusive boat trip on the new yacht of Giorgio Armani: a deep green high-tech vessel, ultra-refined minimalism, which makes obsolete all the marine specimens of other billionaires. An idyllic framework for nomadic vacations in the Mediterranean.

Don't think of summer's end, fine, but why deny oneself the most exciting part? To commence with the contours of fashion. Following the colossal success met by the August issue last year, we again selected 64 total looks of designers interpreted by David Sims and edited for all the circumstances of the hectic life of a professional woman with uncompromising style. To avoid the mind taking a complete vacation, we have covered the cultural highlights of autumn for you: Woody Allen, Bret Easton Ellis, Tilda Swinton, the revealing of Lea, etc. Without forgetting a small indispensable guide to the favorite addresses of stars from all over the world. At the height of summer, we have a bird's eye view of its end thanks to Vogue. You will not be bored.
