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...
