Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: I Am

For the second issue of the fabulously and fully illustrated fashion magazine Herself, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld answered the call for a self-portrait in words with great style. I especially love that Lula, the creator of Herself, styled the letter "U" in Julia's name to resemble a flacon of Tom Ford Black Orchid for which Julia served as the face, ingénieux. Below is the list of "I Am" statements that Julia chose to define herself, note that I have linked her thoughts to various posts on the site or elsewhere for extra fun. Be sure to visit Herself for more greatness.

I am a Scorpio.
I am passionate.
I am Parisian.
I am in NYC.
I am in my office.
I am an art director.
I am a lover.
I am a daughter a sister and a future mother.
I am pregnant.
I am happy.
I am smiling.
I am dressed in black.
I am a high heel shoe fetish.
I am listening to the new Florence + The Machine album.
I am already thinking of Christmas.

Montse, that is so funny! I thought of you while gathering the links when I saw your comment on her birthday saying you were both Scorpios. Too cute! Love

I love the list. You can see she is basically an uncomplicated person, which is always so refreshing to see... specially from people who you'd totally expect to be.
Very lovely :-)
