Restoin-Roitfeld And Konjic In Love
mercredi 23 septembre 2009 
Remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted the article "Restoin-Roitfeld And Konjic In Croatia" and asked if anyone could help with a translation? Krasi Genova generously offered to translate the text from Croatian to English for which we should all thank her. It's got lots of juicy bits about Julia and Robert that we might not have known otherwise. Hvala vam, Krasi!

Swedish model Robert Konjic brings his girlfriend Julia Restoin-Roitfeld to Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik reminds me of New York—full of tourists everywhere, all kinds of people are hanging around and having fun, and here I am talking with beautiful Julia Restoin-Roitfeld (28), model and designer and well known as the face of Tom Ford’s perfume Black Orchid. This beautiful brunette woman is the daughter of Carine Roitfeld—editor-in-chief of Vogue Paris—and current girlfriend of Robert Konjic, a top Swedish model with Croatian roots. Robie, as he is known among his friends and in the fashion field, is the face behind the Nautica and Gucci campaigns.
Two Scorpios
"Before knowing Robie I had heard a lot about beautiful Croatia, but I never came here even for a holiday. I hope to find time to come for the summer soon," said Julia, who lives in New York after graduating Parsons. She first met Robert a year ago, in a restaurant called Il Buco but love sparked just a few months ago. “We met at a dinner party, I went there with my brother Vladimir. I liked him instantly but he was with another girl. Later on we met at a New Year’s Eve party in Mexico, and we felt instantly that there was something between us." He liked the beautiful blue eyes of Julia and her sense of humor and kindness but he admitted his feelings only after they came back to London. She invited him to New York and since then they are together as a couple. “So far we’ve been together in Tuscany, Paris, Moscow, Mexico," says Robert who has in his past a previous marriage and a relationship with Dita Von Teese. Like characters from a romantic American love story they are fully and madly in love. “Robert is a wonderful man. We are both Scorpios and most of the time I feel like I know him from before,” says Julia who after Dubrovnik will fly to Paris to visit her parents and prepare for the upcoming fashion season.

I appreciate your interest, but commenting as much on my private life is quite freaky.
oh, and yes, this is the real me whether you beleive it or not.
Dear Julia:
First, since all of my comments are based on information in the public domain and I do not know you personally this is hardly "commenting on your private life" or "freaky". And frankly hundreds of people seem to enjoy it so I'll continue. As for is this really Julia Restoin-Roitfeld or not, I am uncertain. Initially, you commented twice from the same UK IP address so it seemed unlikely. Now your comment is from a New York IP so perhaps it is truly you. If it is you, the visitor log indicates that you appear to like the site, frequently checking it first thing in the morning!
If this is really you, Julia, will you send me a tidbit that is NOT publicly available? For example, Vladimir's actual birth date would be helpful.
Merci mille fois!

oh et pardonnez-moi si je vous pissais au loin avec la remarque au sujet de Stavros.
It is Julia,
Vlad's date of birth is dec 18th 1984.
And I happened to be in the UK a lot since this is where my bf lives.
oh... and check your sources... i never EVER dated stavros.
I check it often to make sure nothing unpleasant is written.
I would just advise you to remain to public comment and no personal one if you dont want me to have this website close.
All right, Mademoiselle Restoin-Roitfeld, I'm going to believe you. I have nothing to lose. Thank you so much for Vladimir's birthdate. I hope that you will check the site every day and that it pleases you. My only goal is to share my admiration for your family with the world. If you find something offensive I will absolutely remove it starting with my comment about Stavros. I am so happy to hear that you never dated him, you are wise as well as beautiful.
Sincerely,
Kellina
Merci
wow! i thought she was still dating magnus? i guess i haven't been paying enough attention.
Oui ! All sources indicate that Julia is now exclusively dating Robert Konjic. Monsieur Robie is very good looking, you can check him out in the photo gallery if you like.
