Julia Restoin-Roitfeld In ELLE UK

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld is featured in a spread titled "Closet Confidential" in this month's issue of ELLE UK looking ever so sultry. I love the outfit she is wearing here, particularly the fringed skirt — yippee-ki-yay! In the article Julia discusses her glamorous life from photo shoots with mom as a child right up to present day when she is gifted with Richard Nicoll clothing via her Facebook page. Tough gig, n'est-ce pas ? Regrettably I found only the first page so far, let me know if you have the second...

Restoin-Roitfeld At Serpentine Gallery

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld was out for the annual summer party at the Serpentine Gallery in London last night and she looks so beautiful. Julia stood out from the crowd dressed in a floor length black lace gown custom made for her by Emilio Pucci, accompanied by sandals adorned with leopard (also by Pucci) and diamond earrings designed by Solange Azagury-Partridge. Pure seduction, non ?

The outdoor pavilion of the gallery created by French architect Jean Nouvel this year was unveiled as part of the festivities. The theme was red hot: red glass walls and a reflective metallic floor lined with red ping pong tables and red chess sets to keep guests playful. British rapper Dizzee Rascal provided the evening's entertainment.

The glamorous guest list included Donna Air, David and Paloma Bailey, Tamara Beckwith, Lily Cole, Poppy Delevigne, Charlotte Dellal, Nancy Dell'Olio, Tracey Emin, Zaha Hadid, Nicky Haslam, Grace Jones, Myleene Klass, Beverly Knight, Jasmin LeBon, Jared Leto, Piers Morgan, Astrid Muñoz, Caroline Sieber, Margo Stilley, Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, Alice Temperley, Holly Valance, Celia Walden, Assia and Steven Webster, Matthew Williamson, Bill and Suzanne Wyman, and Will Young.

Alas I have but time for a quick one: the Roitfelds are simply gorgeous at Fashion Week in Paris, see above. More to come as time and temperature! allow. Also check out the Vogue Australia interview 5 Minutes with Julia Restoin-Roitfeld in which she divulges loads of excellent beauty secrets such as using borage oil to protect and nourish her hair along with taking borage oil pills in the morning. (Yes, Tanya, I was thinking of you as I wrote this. As Julia herself says cats don't raise dogs. Full report to follow. <wink>)

Today I'm Wearing: Julia Restoin-Roitfeld

June has ended and along with it our "daily" peek inside Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's closet via Vogue UK's "Today I'm Wearing." I say "daily" because of course we saw only 23 outfits total and 30 days in June. Regardless, we had a lovely glimpse of Julia's style choices including her more casual but still sexy summer looks. Fabulous! In case you missed it, I added the shots of Julia to the photo gallery and I would love to hear about your favorites so feel free to comment. Personally I would have enjoyed seeing more of her shoes...

Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld In French

In February 2009, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld organized a show titled "The Works of Three Photographers" that included his friends PC Valmorbida, David Mushegain, and Salim Langatta. Housed at Collective Hardware on the Lower East Side and sponsored by Louis Vuitton, the exhibit ran for only four days but someone had the fortitude to capture the spirit of the opening on video. Check out this Facebook video in which Vladimir (along with sister Julia) appears at 1.19; though we hear only Vlad he speaks in French which I had not yet heard, c'est magnifique.

As an aside, pop over to see the latest Giovanna Battaglia photo from The Sartorialist, bellissima...
