Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Robert Konjic attended the Gucci Icon Temporary store opening together last night in Covent Garden in London and it looks as if they are one very happy couple. Monsieur Konjic served as the face for Gucci for his first modeling gig so naturally he and Julia were on hand to celebrate.

Trainer enthusiast Mark Ronson teamed up with Frida Giannini of Gucci to produce a limited edition line of shoes for the pop-up shop. About the collection, Ronson stated, "I spent many years as an avid sneaker collector so I wanted to make sure these shoes were truly special, both from an aesthetic point of view and a collectible one." Giannini says, "From the moment Mark and I started talking about this project, we connected. He has a great eye for design and an amazing knowledge of sneaker history. He is an artist whose influence is cross-cultural and cross-generational."
Other guests included Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes who stood in with Ronson's band, Chauffeur, Tolula Adeyemi, Jonny Borrell, Jamie Campbell-Bower, Dominic Cooper, Poppy Delevigne, Bryan Ferry, Sophia Hesketh, Pam Hogg, Ben Hudson, Yasmin Le Bon, Anouck Lepere, Leigh Lezark, Suzy Menkes, Savannah Miller, Amy Molyneux, Geordon Nicol, Rifat Ozbek, Percy Parker, Margo Stilley, and Bonnie Wright. The first Gucci Icon Temporary store launched in New York last October and then migrated to Miami in December; after London the shop will travel to Tokyo in June.
