Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: Today I'm Wearing

Vogue UK features a blog titled "Today I'm Wearing" on their web site and for the month of June they will focus on the style of none other than Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. Each morning we visit Julia's closet to see what she decides to wear. As JRR says, "Clothes can be either art or design but need a real purpose. To me they're a sort of pop art." She confesses that her style is sometimes rebellious and that she always dresses for herself. In the photograph above, Julia is wearing a dress by Emilio de la Morena that he made especially for her with shoes by Miu Miu, clutch by Jay Ahr, and bracelet by Lara Bohinc which Robert Konjic gave her to commemorate their first year together. I cannot wait to see tomorrow's outfit...

Roitfeld Love

I don't know about you but I feel warm and sunny when looking at these images of the Roitfelds at Cannes so in lieu of something newsworthy I figured — just smile.

The Roitfelds In Cannes: She's A Rainbow

The Rolling Stones seem to set the tone for the festivities in southern France of late, so let's wrap up the 63rd Cannes Film Festival with a colorful collage of photos of the Roitfeld family and friends to the tune of "She's A Rainbow":

Have you seen her all in gold
Like a queen in days of old 

She shoots colors all around 

Like a sunset going down 

Have you seen the lady fairer

She comes in colors everywhere; 

She combs her hair 

She's like a rainbow 

Coming colors in the air 

Oh, everywhere 

She comes in colors

The Roitfelds At Cinema Against AIDS Gala

The amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala at the Hôtel du Cap-Eden Roc is one of the most prestigious parties at Cannes each year. Carine Roitfeld often chairs this special charity event that benefits the research of AIDS; the honors for this year's gala go to Alan Cumming. Among the numerous luminaries on hand to support amfAR were Carine Roitfeld, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld (wearing Mark Fast), Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld, Giovanna Battaglia (wearing Armani Privé), Giorgio Armani, Mischa Barton, Kate Beckinsale, Malgosia Bela, Rachel Bilson, Fan Bingbing, Naomi Campbell, Roberto Cavalli, Georgina Chapman, Kenneth Cole (chair of amfAR), Marion Cotillard, Russell Crowe, Benicio Del Toro, Peter Dundas, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Ford, Fawaz Gruosi, Dree Hemingway, Constance Jablonski, Mick Jagger, Grace Jones, Karolina Kurkova, Diane Kruger, Karl Lagerfeld, Margherita Missoni, Eugenie Niarchos, L'Wren Scott, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Michelle Williams. Apparently it was another fabulous party provoking Giovanna Battaglia to remark, "AmfAR was so much fun!! The best I ever been... Mary J. Blige and Patti Smith were fantastic."
