Stavros Niarchos

One of Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld's closest friends is Stavros Niarchos III, Greek shipping heir and international playboy. He was born in New York City and grew up in Paris. While he certainly has made some questionable choices in the dating game, Stavros looks to be a loyal friend. He and Vladimir attended University of Southern California together, strengthening the bond of friendship while studying and surfing in the sunshine and graduating the film school in May 2007. College was clearly a success, his occupation on his MySpace page reads "pro kite surfer."

Stavros has been on the guest list for every one of the art openings Vladimir has curated and I will wager a guess that he is also on the list of those to whom Vlad deals art. After all, his grandfather Stavros was esteemed as a private collector of fine art, particularly Impressionist and modern, considering it an important investment; he even had his portrait painted by Andy Warhol. Interesting footsteps in which to follow... another bond that he and Vladimir have in common.

It seems a bit presumptuous to write that Stavros has made some "questionable choices in the dating game".

The man is an adult and can date whosoever he wants to. It probably never occurred to him that he had to ask anyone's permission, since such personal choices are best left to each individual.

Whoever makes him happy IS the right choice for him. I wish him well.

I am a bit presumptuous at times. Take comfort in the fact that I restrained myself to this relatively innocuous comment, given the extent of Stavros' questionable choices. I wish him well, too, I merely hope that he begins dating women of a higher caliber.
