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.

Carine Roitfeld In St. Tropez

10 TV captured the atmosphere at the Chanel show in St. Tropez and though Carine Roitfeld appears only in small bits, one of these bits is the hottest I have seen yet of her. Pay attention and at 3:15 in the video you can see Carine tapping out the beat on her knee and getting into the music, she is the epitome in sexy chic. J'aaaaadore.

Carine Roitfeld At Chanel

As I imagine you have heard by now, Karl Lagerfeld showed the Chanel resort collection in St. Tropez yesterday and Carine Roitfeld was front row as expected. I am continually blown away by the creative settings that Lagerfeld conjures as the perfect backdrop to his designs. This is no exception, it may even be my favorite — models promenading along the docks in St. Tropez ending with Georgia May Jagger cruising in on a motorbike while her daddy croons "Let's Spend The Night Together" in the background. Pardonnez-moi, savez-vous le chemin de Saint-Tropez?

Perhaps like me you had heretofore overlooked the fact that Karl Lagerfeld's short film Remember Now is available, Part I and Part II. Enjoy!
