To say that Christian Restoin is elusive is a giant understatement. It is more likely to find a photograph of the hermetically sealed Martin Margiela than Carine Roitfeld's baby daddy. Though he and Carine have been partners for thirty years, they are not technically married. Why not? Because Carine, being superstitious (and practical), reasons that this way they will never divorce. Christian, affectionately known as Sisley, formerly owned the apparel company Equipment. Since Carine's phenomenal success in recent years, he has become a stay-at-home paramour which just may make him the world's luckiest man! Now if only we could get some gossip about him...
