Julia Restoin Roitfeld And Romy Konjic: Baby Dior Spring/Summer 2016

French beauty Julia Restoin Roitfeld and her adorable daughter, Romy Konjic, are charming in the latest campaign for Dior. Photographed by Pamela Hanson in Julia’s own home, Romy models the Baby Dior Spring/Summer 2016 Collection to perfection.

One of the cutest shots, shown above, features Romy in the bathroom helping to apply her mother’s eye makeup; you may remember her grandmother, Carine, sharing a similar recollection of her own mother, Nicola: "I think I was eight or nine years old. My mother was preparing to go out and she wanted me to help her put her eyeliner on. I remember very carefully putting on her designer eyeliner for her — it is such a strong memory…  It was the mid 1960s, and she was wearing a Pucci dress, and I was helping her put on her black eyeliner in a straight line. To be symmetrical can be difficult, so she asked me to do it." I love to see the Roitfeld dynasty continue in this way, brava!

Julia Restoin Roitfeld For Stella

Julia Restoin Roitfeld For Stella
By Montse Ocejo

Julia Restoin Roitfeld models the autumn 2013 collections for the September issue of Stella as styled by Charlie Harrington. She looks more confident and sexier than ever, posing for British photographer Damon Baker, his images are know for being experimental and mysterious with heavy contrasts. The dark artistic style of Damon Baker is a perfect match for Julia's sense of style and they make an explosive combination full of sensuality. Julia shows her fierce and stronger side in this editorial, dressed in the latest autumn collections of Givenchy, Dior, Saint Laurent, Miu Miu, and Gucci, every piece of clothing reflects her personality.

In the first shot we see Julia in a a black and cerulean ombre dress by Gucci with Swarovski crystal jewelry.

The second look is a very sophisticated one in a white twill skirt and bustier with printed art by Warhol “Female Head” paired with leather pumps by Dior and finished with jewelry by Eddie Borgo.

In this one Julia is the definition of classic rock look in a black dress with metal nail detail by Versace. The jewelry that she wears is designed by Lara Bohinc.

Very sexy look in a pink jacquard jacket by Miu Miu, bra and knickers by Triumph, and jewelry by Kenneth Jay Lane.

Julia is rock and grunge personified in a complete look by Saint Laurent with shoes by Pierre Hardy.

In this shot, Julia works a modern vamp look in red and black printed floral wool shirt jacket, and shorts with a black chiffon skirt, all by Givenchy.

The make up is high impact and very glamorous with two looks created by Steven Canavan for Julia Restoin Roitfeld, smokey eyes and hot pink lips and very strong eyebrows and the other a beautiful sophisticated cat eye with very shiny and wet hair.

Vogue Paris Translation: Editorial, August 2004

As we glance back to the August 2004 issue of Vogue Paris, here is my translation from French to English of the editorial written by Carine Roitfeld. How I adore her turn of phrase, so like her images, at once charming and provocative.

"Personne n'a à me dire ce que je dois porter", a coutume de dire Madonna. Sans vouloir offenser la "pop queen", en couverture de ce numéro et dont la série de concerts à Paris s'annonce d'emblée comme l'événement de la rentrée, c'est ce que nous avons décidé de faire ce mois-ci : ne pas vous laisser le choix et vous mettre en présence des total looks les plus marquants de l'automne-hiver. Un Vogue spécial mode donc, doublé d'un supplément défilés (ci-dessus, Dior par John Galliano), imaginé non pas comme une "bible de diktats", mais comme un décapsuleur d'envies. Envies de léopard, de noir fluide, d'une silhouette graphique et de voluptueuses audaces, entre modernité et tradition, symptôme d'une saison "Asie-mutée". La vitalité d'un rythme de lignes franches que l'on retrouve dans l'architecture japonaise, chez ses "fabuleux sorciers" (Shin Takamatsu, Takashi Yamagushi, Tokyo Ito...) dont le travail est un témoignage à l'air libre de la relation essentielle qui existe entre la légèreté et la modernité.

"Nobody has to tell me what to wear," Madonna often says. No offense to the "pop queen" — on the cover of this issue and whose series of concerts in Paris upon being announced were immediately the event of the season — that is exactly what we decided to do this month: give you no choice and put you in the presence of the most striking total looks of the fall-winter styles. A Vogue fashion special therefore, bundled with a supplement to the shows (above, Dior by John Galliano), imagined not as a "Bible of dictates," but as a wish list opener. Cravings for leopard, for fluid black, for a graphic silhouette and for sensuous audacity, between modernity and tradition, a symptom of the "Asia-mutated" season. The vitality of the rhythm of clean lines found in Japanese architecture, with its "fabulous sorcerers" (Shin Takamatsu, Takashi Yamaguchi, Tokyo Ito...) whose work is a testament in the open air to the essential relationship which exists between lightness and modernity.

Vogue Paris: La Fee Toxique

Throughout the month of March, the IWTBAR team will explore Carine Roitfeld's farewell issue of Vogue Paris from March 2011. From "Cœur a Corps Perdu," Carine's absurdly humorous soft porn tribute to her successor by way of the film Emmanuelle, to the lively and surreal "Audace Manifeste" as styled by Giovanna Battaglia, the last issue of Vogue Paris edited by Carine Roitfeld never fails to inspire.

To lead off the exploration, we begin with a look at "La Fée Toxique," a brilliant decision by Carine to feature Victoire de Castellane in her last Vogue Paris at the same time that the revolutionary jewelry designer was launching her first solo exhibit, Fleurs d’excès, at Galerie Gagosian Paris.

Styled by Olivier Lalanne and shot by Juergen Teller, "La Fée Toxique" displays the surreal gems from Victoire de Castellane's exquisite ten-piece Fleurs d’excès collection. In a strange twist, her precious pieces are named for illegal narcotics although she herself abstains: Extasium Ethero Coïtus, Opium Velourosa Purpa, Acidae Lili Pervertus, Quo Caïnus Magic Disco, L. Es Déliriuma Flash, Cana Bisextem Now, Héroïna Romanticam Dolorosa, Amanita Santane Diabolus, Crac Bouminalum, and Crystalucinea Metha Agressiva. The shoot is set in the colorful apartment of de Castellane and in the background we can see the childhood watercolor paintings of her husband, Thomas Lenthal.

De Castellane was destined to collaborate with Chanel, having being raised by her uncle, who happened to be one of Karl Lagerfeld's principal assistants. After 14 years spent overseeing Chanel's costume jewelry designs, inspiring the collections, and even walking the runway at times, de Castellane became creative director of Christian Dior fine jewelry in 1998 where she continues to create today.

In 2006, Victoire de Castellane was chosen by Sofia Coppola to play a small part in her film Marie Antoinette and in 2007, the talented jewelry designer was awarded the Légion d’Honneur, clearly the epitome of a Parisienne original. If you would like to learn more about the work of de Castellane, I recommend Dior Joaillerie and Victoire de Castellane, Fleurs d’excès.
