Julia Restoin-Roitfeld For Kiki De Montparnasse

Next week Julia Restoin-Roitfeld launches another design collaboration, this time with luxurious lingerie label Kiki de Montparnasse. When asked by ELLE about the design process, Julia explained: "I had quite a strong idea of what I wanted to achieve but had absolutely no knowledge of lingerie design. Lingerie design is very specific—it’s not just about looking good, it’s really about the fit and every detail counts. I had many meetings with the team at Kiki, submitted my sketches, and then it was about seeing what was doable, the fabrics we could play with, etc. I knew what I wanted, but I couldn’t have done it so well without their expertise." The pieces by Julia will be available in Kiki de Montparnasse stores beginning Wednesday, 14 December. Visit the photo gallery to see more...

I love it, Francesca, so romantic!

[Lee]

Wish I had the $$ to plunk down for some of her lingerie! The photos are beautiful - they have a kind of '60s glamour/lusciousness that I love. Bravo, Julia!

I wonder if the collaboration will be cut short once Julia develops a baby bump.

[Um]

Stop it Julia you know you write your own blog about yourself. It's sick. Don't you have any original thoughts or ideas?

[kellina]

Completely concur, Lee! It's all I want to wear every day...

[kellina]

Ha ha, Michael! Julia's pregnancy will not impact the look of the lingerie on others... Maybe she will develop a line for pregnant women, there's a niche...

[kellina]

Um, thank you for the single greatest comment ever! You don't think I Want To Be A Roitfeld, you think I Am A Roitfeld — utterly fabulous!

Hint: would Julia Restoin-Roitfeld write a second blog titled I Want To Be An Alt? I think not...

I covet lingerie from Kiki de Montparnasse. I love everything about that brand--the quality, the design, the presentation, it's all great. So cool that Julia is a part of the team, so to speak. And those pix are beautiful.

The last photo reminds me of the favorite Tom Ford for YSL skirt that Carine loves to wear

[kellina]

Oh, me too, Kate! I want it all.

[kellina]

Quite right per usual, B.

I've forget that the YSL Fall 2003 is all about lingerie dressing
