Julia Restoin-Roitfeld Shoots For VMAN

Remember back in August when I mentioned that Julia Restoin-Roitfeld photographed her boyfriend Robert Konjic for VMAN? The article has finally been published, see above. Konjic reports in the piece that he maintains his sexy skin using the array of products shown — men, listen up! Julia also put together a collection of songs to get things rolling in the studio the day of the shoot, check out her "Summer Mix Tape" to hear her inspiration.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld At London Fashion Week

Phill Taylor of Taylor-Made kindly permitted me to share with you this gorgeous photograph of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld at the Christopher Kane show for London Fashion Week. The black and white treatment plays up Julia's wholesome beauty perfectly and the collar of the leather jacket gives the composition just the right edge. Taylor describes both Julia and her mother, Carine Roitfeld, as being nice and down to earth as they spent time posing for photographers. Thank you so much for this timeless image, Phill.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: Hendrix Pop-Up Party

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld is electric in black for the release of Fin DAC's screen print Hendrix: Still Reigning, Still Dreaming in London on Thursday. The pop-up exhibit was hosted by Beautiful Crime at the Red Bull Studios to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the death of musical legend Jimi Hendrix. Guests viewed Fin DAC's striking 16-color print finished by hand and bid in an auction of the Irish urban artist's work including four originals in copper, metal, newspaper collage, and wood. On hand to DJ the event was Stuee from The Paddingtons. Does anyone know who designed Julia's outrageously sexy little black dress?

Roitfeld Walks In Secret Tom Ford Show

As you have probably heard by now, Tom Ford revealed his highly anticipated collection for women at a secret show in the intimacy of his Madison Avenue store yesterday. Perhaps best of all, Ford chose to unveil his collection by using famous celebrities, singers, and actresses rather than limiting himself to models. Certainly worst of all is the fact that he banned cameras at the show (other than Terry Richardson) so we have nary a glimpse of the goodness, though I did hear that Carine Roitfeld was wearing a black lace lingerie dress from Ford's Yves Saint Laurent era. Ford himself narrated the collection, introducing each model and describing every garment in detail as it graced the runway.

Modeling the sexy collection were Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Julianne Moore (the female lead in Ford's first film A Single Man) and her daughter, Liv Helen Freundlich, Lou Doillon, Emmanuelle Seigner, Natalia Vodianova, Chanel Iman, Stella Tennant, Rita Wilson, Daphne Guinness, Victoria Fernandez, Liya Kebede, Carolyn Murphy, Du Juan, Liu Wen, Karlie Kloss, Lakshmi Menon, Abbey Lee Kershaw, Freja Beha Erichsen (the face for Tom Ford Eyewear), Anja Rubik, Daria Werbowy, Karen Elson, Amber Valletta, Monika Jagaciak, Lauren Hutton, Joan Smalls, Marisa Berenson, Rachel Feinstein, Rinko Kikuchi, Lisa Eisner, Farida Khelfa, Edita Vilkeviciute, and Beyoncé Knowles.

Cathy Horyn of The New York Times gives us an idea of the clothes: “Sharp pantsuits in black silk or a leopard pattern, gorgeous black evening clothes with sheer blouses, corsets and maybe a shrug in shredded tulle, impeccable details like hammered gold jewellery, stilettos with ankle ties and seamed black stockings." The collection will be available at Tom Ford stores internationally in February.

Drat, the audio recording of Tom Ford's show has been deleted from Fashionista. I knew it was too good to last! Hope you got to hear Tom say, "Miss Julia Restoin-Roitfeld," it was definitely the next best thing to being there... or seeing photographs...

Just noticed Cathy Horyn has added two photographs from the Tom Ford show!
