Roitfeld And Konjic: The Crush Remix

You may remember the short film in which Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Robert Konjic debuted as actors, The Crush, a fashion piece directed by Indira Cesarine for XXXX Magazine. The director has condensed the eight minute film into a four minute version set to music by Moby and titled The Crush Remix. Cesarine says, "I actually prefer this version to the original one I cut for XXXX Magazine’s Voyeur Issue. Robert Konjic and I had worked together in London for Harrod’s several years ago, and after running into him and Julia several times out and about in London I thought they would make the perfect couple for this short. I wanted a real couple rather than casting models for this fashion film, as the emotion is more real — and the kisses certainly are more convincing! Julia has a brilliant look, such incredible eyes, and Robert has always been one of the stronger, more timeless male models; together they make quite an iconic couple. I think they both could have an interesting future in film if that is something that interests them." Among the labels seen on screen are Julia's dresses by Matthew Williamson, Abed Mahfouz, Tadashi Shoji, BESS; her jewelry by Flutter by Jill Golden, Zoe Chicco, and Jen Kao; and her shoes by Christian Louboutin and Yves Saint Laurent. Robert wears clothing by Buckler, Commonwealth Utilities, Top Shop, Simon Spurr, H&M; his shoes are by Jean Michel Cazabat; and his watch is by Rolex. Which do you prefer, the original or the remix?

The image I posted in February was apparently just a teaser — above is the actual cover for the April issue of Tatler Russia featuring Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Robert Konjic, one of the world's most beautiful couples. The headline translates as "In Bed with Julia Restoin-Roitfeld." I am going to reserve comment on the image but I hope you will share yours! What do you think of the cover?

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: She's The One

Australia's premier fashion brand Portmans has released a new in-store magazine titled Up which features a lovely interview with the glamorous Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. Among the fun facts that Julia shares: her friends describe her as sexy and chic; her style icons are Brigitte Bardot for her singular ability to simultaneously convey innocence and sexiness and Romy Schneider for her pure elegance and sensuality; and she adores Tokyo and cannot wait to go back. Fashion journalist Louise Roe serves as guest editor for the first issue, Autumn/Winter 2011. The face for the brand, Abbey Lee, appears on the cover and in an interior shoot along with profiles of Tali Lennox and Kym Ellery.
