Cool Carine In Cannes

Carine Roitfeld's chic appearance at Cannes in sleek black Balmain has inspired momentum mode to create a superb new drawing. I love how she has captured Carine's essence in charcoal, the perfect medium to convey her indubitable edge. A thousand thanks for sharing your talent with all of us, momentum mode!

Vogue Paris June/July 2010: Kate Moss

Carine Roitfeld chose favorite Kate Moss for the June/July issue of Vogue Paris and though we have only a partial view it is gorgeous. Look at those red lips! Photographed by Mario Sorrenti, I will of course upgrade the image as soon as possible to give you the full picture. [Editor's note: Done! And what a picture it is!] Veronica Webb is featured in "Une Fille Un Style" and among the editorials are "Collection privée" styled by La Roitfeld with Freja Beha Erichsen and Lara Stone (Walliams) shot by Terry Richardson; "Coup de foudre" with styling by Riccardo Tisci, photography by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, and assorted models including Ciara and Daphnee; "L'heure bleue" with Anastasia Barbieri styling, Isabeli Fontana modeling, Michael Jansson shooting; and two editorials styled by Emmanuelle Alt: "Et Dieu créa le soleil" (the cover ed) and "Girl Meets Boy" with David Sims photographing Raquel Zimmerman. I can feel the heat of the sun already...

Great news! A bit more digging unearthed photos of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld, and Giovanna Battaglia on board Armani's boat as well. The work of art adorning Julia was created by Emilio de la Morena.

Roitfeld And Dello Russo: Whole Lotta Leopard

This sexy photograph of Carine Roitfeld and Anna Dello Russo at Cannes in 2009 comes to us courtesy of Anna's web site. Anna says of Carine and her style: "Carine m'a toujours fasciné: sa façon de marcher, de poser, de parler... inusuel, féminin, sexy. Le tout exprimé par sa manière incroyable de s'habiller." or in English: "Carine has always fascinated me: her fashion of walking, posing, talking... unusual, feminine, sexy. All expressed by her incredible manner of dressing." I especially like the surreal artwork poised directly above Carine's head, it lends the whole scene a nice edge. I wonder if the artist conjured this work as the perfect counterpoint to a room swirling with leopard clad lovelies.
