Roitfeld Family Art

Check out this adorable collage made by Julia Restoin-Roitfeld for one of her classes she took at Parsons in New York. She has assembled small images of her family members into the form of the iconic photograph of her mother Carine taken by Karl Lagerfeld. Yes, there are even tiny pictures of Julia's elusive father Christian Restoin if you squint hard. Ingénieux, n'est-ce pas ?

Restoin-Roitfeld In Humor Chic

aleXsandro Palombo is a wild man and he illustrates this with the latest comic concept on his blog Humor Chic. The premise is "Toilet very chic" in which Palombo imagines invading the privacy of our fashion favorites in the privy including Julia Restoin-Roitfeld. Mademoiselle Julia is caught with her knickers 'round her knees reading material that requires little reading. Of course it is toilet humor, but the artist warns those that are not inclined with his caveat: "Instructions for use: We discourage anyone who is lacking in Humor Chic from viewing 'Toilet very chic'." Note that Palombo is not singling out Julia, other editorial offspring were also targeted in his shenanigans.

Roitfeld Versus Humor Chic

With today's comic illustration of Carine Roitfeld, aleXsandro Palombo of Humor Chic proves that he can poke fun at anyone—even himself! He has imagined Carine on the cover of Paris Match wearing a basic white tshirt and a big grin on her face; both her tshirt and her single red-tipped finger tell Humor Chic exactly what to do with their mockery. I guess that joke isn't funny anymore...

Roitfeld And Richardson In Humor Chic

In his most recent post on Humor Chic, aleXsandro Palombo draws attention to the fact that fashion makes strange bedfellows. He has created a scene that I would never want to wake up to, quelle horreur. In the artist statement on his site Palombo writes: "When I put pencil to paper, I know where I'll start but I don't know where I'll finish." This particular amour à trois is one funny stop indeed.
