Auld Lang Syne

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld broke up with her last boyfriend Magnus Berger right before the holidays. Then on 5 janvier 2009 via Blasblog we learned that Nicolas Malleville had invited a few of New York's finest to visit his Coqui Coqui spa hotels on the Yucatan Penninsula for a little New Year's soirée. Who made the guest list? Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Robert Konjic! Other revelers included Poppy de Villeneuve, James Penfold, Sophia Hesketh, Nora Flaherty, Byrdie Bell, Paola Kudacki, Lauryn Flynn, Robin Baum, and Derek Blasberg. I guess we know who was naughty and who was nice!

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Robert Konjic

It looks as if Vladimir is not the only member of the Roitfeld family with a new love interest—Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Robert Konjic were spotted together at the Serpentine Gallery party last week in London. By my count this is at least their second date, having appeared ensemble at the show that Vladimir recently curated at Collective Hardware. One burning question: why have both the Roitfeld children decided to take up with smokers?

Vogue Paris August 2009: Daria Werbowy

Hmmm, does Carine Roitfeld have a new favorite model? Daria Werbowy is featured on the cover of Vogue Paris for August 2009 and appeared on the May cover as well. They used the same photographers again, too, Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. The theme is decidedly Burberry and it sounds like a fun issue. Inside are editorials such as "Call Me!" inspired by Blondie's style and "French On Top" featuring six models native to France. Subscribers will receive a special bonus DVD, "Vogue Backstage: In the steps of a famous makeup artist, Peter Philips in 80 days"; sneak a peek at the video on vogue.fr.

Carine Roitfeld At Hugo Boss

Carine Roitfeld looks so perfectly badass at the Hugo Boss Spring/Summer 2010 show. What she's wearing seems so simple, even casual, until you add the vintage César pendant and fasten it all helter skelter rather than traditionally. Slap on the chic shades, project that bemused nonchalance, et voilà !

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld At Serpentine

On July 9, London's fashion elite converged on the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens for one of the highlights of the British social calendar. Julia Restoin-Roitfeld was resplendent in the jet black beaded dress from Topshop pictured above. Other fabulous partygoers included hostess Malin Jeffries (in Donna Karan), Mario Testino, Dasha Zhukova (in Alaïa), Pharrell Williams, Thandie Newton (in a Matthew Williamson digital print dress, pre-Spring 2010 at that), Bianca Jagger, Roisin Murphy (in Dolce & Gabbana), Lily Donaldson, Erin O'Connor (in Donna Karan), Natalie Imbruglia, Poppy Delevigne (also in Topshop), and Damien Hirst. This annual soirée is for a good cause, too; the proceeds will help to fund the Serpentine Gallery's art education program for children.

Also worth noting is the design of this year's outdoor pavilion at the Serpentine Gallery. Each summer since 2000, the gallery has commissioned an internationally recognized architect to create an open-air space for seasonal events. This year the Serpentine chose Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of the Tokyo firm Sanaa. The polished aluminum canopy and stainless steel columns snake through Kensington Gardens reflecting the sky and the trees. The serpentine structure seems to meld into its natural setting rather than conflicting with it. Other works by Sanaa include the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York, the Christian Dior store in Tokyo, and the Zollverein School of Management and Design in Essen, Germany.
