Julia Restoin-Roitfeld In The Selby Book

Remember last spring when Julia Restoin-Roitfeld graciously opened up her home to photographer Todd Selby and gave all of us a lovely glimpse of her life? We got to see the beauty products that Julia prefers, the unique jewelry that she collects such as the gorgeous pieces by Tom Binns, Alexis Bittar, Pamela Love, and Czarina, her mindblowing shoe closet, including sexy stunners designed by Brian Atwood, her toys, even her well tended orchids. Now we can see all of this and more in hardcover format: The Selby Is in Your Place collects the cool portraits Todd Selby has amassed into one dynamic book due to publish the first of May. I cannot wait to own a copy. As an added bonus, some of the portraits have never been seen before! Now if only there were photographs of Vladimir's apartment to complete the collection...

p.s. If you visit The Selby regularly you may enjoy the Question & Answer section at the bottom of each profile complete with illustrations by the subjects. For some reason, Julia's Q&A was not posted originally but it is now and of course it is très adorable including a priceless sketch of Brigitte Bardot.

Roitfeld At Kate Moss Longchamp Launch

Last night at the Ritz Club in Paris, Carine Roitfeld celebrated the launch of Kate Moss' new collection for Longchamp along with 700 other revelers. I believe Carine is paying homage to Kate's golden touch with her sparkling outfit. The collection includes clutches, shoppers, and travel bags in twelve assorted styles, each named after Kate's favorite London spots such as Glastonbury, Gloucester, Goldbourne, Ladbroke, Soho. The bags will be in stores in London on February 11. Kate has been the face for Longchamp for four years. Among the guests were Kate’s fiancé, Jamie Hince, the Cassegrain family (owners of Longchamp), Sophie Delafontaine (creative director for Longchamp), the Princess of Venice, Giambattista Valli, Loulou de la Falaise, Maryna Linchuk, Audrey Marnay, Frida Gustavsson, Jean-Marc Barr, Delphine Chaneac, Clotilde Courau, Laurent Artufel, Vahina Giocante, Anna Cleveland, les Plasticines, and the Queens of Noize performed. Kate also launched her fourth perfume called Vintage recently. Watch this clip for behind-the-scenes action at Kate's Longchamp photo shoot.
