Roitfelds At Classy Release Party

Though Julia Restoin-Roitfeld prefers the word "elegant" to "classy" in describing her friends, she and brother Vladimir were on hand regardless to help celebrate the publication of the book Classy by Derek Blasberg. "All my friends are pretty classy, I guess. No, I don't want to say classy. All my friends are pretty elegant with good manners," Julia clarified. She is pictured here in the Prps flak jacket posing with Dasha Zhukova, editor of Pop and one of three hostesses for the event. Chloë Sevigny and Lauren Santo Domingo also shared in this honor. Others gracing the soirée at Barneys on Madison Avenue included Giovanna Battaglia, Zac Posen, Jessica Stam, Lazaro Hernandez, Jack McCollough, Lily Aldridge, Leigh Lezark, Byrdie Bell, Jen Brill, Simon Doonan, Anna Cleveland, and Nate Berkus.

Got the book today! It's very funny!
Brilliant, Kate! I hope to get it in the next few days, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on Monsieur Blasberg's witty words of wisdom.
My goodness, just look at Gio's gorgeous glossy locks. Jealous = Milla. No interest in the book but thank you endlessly for the photographs!
Mon plaisir, Milla! I am happy that you enjoyed the photos. Must mention though that my beau got me the book yesterday and it is amusing. The designer did a great job of picking up on the look and feel of the The Official Preppy Handbook for added fun.
