Julia Restoin-Roitfeld For Givenchy Fall/Winter 2013

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld reprises her role in the Givenchy advertising campaigns for the Fall/Winter 2013 collection, this time donning their eyewear for a sexy librarian look that is at once sweet and smoldering. Julia is seen here in the "Antigona" model. Designed by Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy, the "Reality and Family" eyewear collection celebrates the value of family, with frames available in black, red, or the Givenchy logo print, Swarovski crystals optional. The black-and-white campaign images were captured by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. While we are on the subject, I admired the Givenchy eyewear campaign for their Spring/Summer 2013 collection featuring Mariacarla Boscono and Francisco Peralta, also by Mert & Marcus.

The Roitfelds At Savelli Smartphone Launch

Savelli has introduced a luxurious line of smartphones especially for les femmes and they chose Julia Restoin-Roitfeld as the perfect model to front their advertising campaign. Crafted by hand in Switzerland, the line favors precious materials such as alligator, ostrich, rose gold, and diamonds. Alessandro Savelli shared his vision for the new line with WWD: “From a design perspective, this was the objective: Creating a completely disruptive design which had nothing in common with any other phone which had ever been designed before. We wanted to create a shape that was feminine, curvaceous, but at the same time extremely modern.” Of course disruptive behavior always comes at a price: these luxe little items range from $9,000 to $118,000 and are available through Harrod’s and Printemps should one be so inclined. The Savelli campaign is styled by Michaela Doasamantes and photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, watch the mood video "Jardin Secret" for more. Savelli hosted their launch party at Jacquemart-André Museum last week and guests were treated to lots of Perrier-Jouët and the sounds of house DJ Stéphane Pompougnac; of course Carine Roitfeld turned out to support her daughter's latest collaboration. Is Carine aiming for maritime chic with this look? I'd love to hear your thoughts…

Note that the work of Patrick Demarchelier is currently on display at A. Galerie in Paris, visit the lovely Ritournelle for more information about the exhibit.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld For Eddie Borgo Fall/Winter 2013

Eddie Borgo has selected Julia Restoin-Roitfeld as the model to front his forthcoming Fall/Winter campaign and I love the first image that is circulating. Julia looks the epitome of elegance with Borgo's "Cyprus" collection gracing her wrists, her earlobes, and her neck against her stark black clothing and her severely chic chignon. Paul Maffi shot the black-and-white photograph for the campaign. Note that Julia has art-directed campaigns for Borgo's line of jewelry previously, including a memorable spread which starred her brother's girlfriend, Giovanna Battaglia, for Spring/Summer 2011. Other stylish femmes featured by Borgo in his advertising were Tabitha Simmons, Lauren Santo Domingo, and Vanessa Traina.
