Julia Restoin-Roitfeld In Grazia France

The latest issue of Grazia France (No. 60 dated 22 October 2010) features Julia Restoin-Roitfeld on the cover, what a beauty! I love how they chose to style Julia for the editorial with looks ranging from wholesome girl-next-door to total vamp, visit the gallery to view the entire article. I regret that the version I found is not large enough to read so I cannot translate the interview for you. Perhaps someone has a copy of the full-sized article they would be willing to share with us...

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld For A.P.C.

Special thanks to Svetoslav Petrov who connected me with this incredible photograph of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld as a teenager. Taken as part of an advertising campaign for A.P.C. in 1995, Julia is a mere 15 years old in this photo. She considers this her first modeling gig though she had appeared previously in various editorials; she also walked in the A.P.C. show that year. Marianne Chemetov photographed Julia for the campaign.

Restoin-Roitfeld Shows Pol In London

Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld opened a new exhibit featuring Parisian artist Nicolas Pol last week at The Old Dairy in London as part of the Frieze Art Fair. In typical Roitfeld fashion, the private opening party for "Nicolas Pol, Mother of Pouacrus" looks to be glamorous yet fun... check the photo gallery for evidence. I might add profitable as well: every painting sold by the evening's end, even those created merely hours before by the artist.

Asked for his inspiration for one of his paintings, Pol politely replied that he had used the idea of a virgin prostitute,"I began to see her as a hermaphrodite, masturbating, surrounded by sex toys. I just love the idea of the possessed skeleton fucking itself." Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld glowingly refers to Vladi's work: "Tonight is all about the art of my son, and I am just a proud mother." "Nicolas Pol, Mother of Pouacrus" runs from October 15 to November 5; be sure to stop in to view the art that Pol describes as his invitation to see painting as witchcraft before all the pieces are tucked away in private collections by their enchanted buyers.
