Julia Restoin-Roitfeld At London Fashion Week

Phill Taylor of Taylor-Made kindly permitted me to share with you this gorgeous photograph of Julia Restoin-Roitfeld at the Christopher Kane show for London Fashion Week. The black and white treatment plays up Julia's wholesome beauty perfectly and the collar of the leather jacket gives the composition just the right edge. Taylor describes both Julia and her mother, Carine Roitfeld, as being nice and down to earth as they spent time posing for photographers. Thank you so much for this timeless image, Phill.

The Roitfelds At Victoria's Secret Fashion Show

Merde, what is going on with Carine Roitfeld? I have kept my opinion to myself on many a topic but the thing around her neck ices this cake for me. Et les cheveux ?? If this is a midlife crisis, this is wonderful in terms of numbers but for fashion it spells disaster. If this catches on and I have to watch a bunch of fat girls parading around as futuristic bull fighting superheroines, I'm going to hurl. There, I've said it. Go ahead and label me fatist and swear never to read my words again but sincerely—do you? Further, we are NOT going back to big hair, I flatly refuse.

Let's not allow this to spoil the fact that Julia looks stunning in Christoper Kane for Topshop. Oh why oh why did I not order that dress the day the collection was released?! Julia is simply radiant, I guess a few weeks in London were restorative. Though she does have that superhero stance...thank the stars she is not wearing a cape.

Like Mother, Like Daughter

How cute is this—when Julia Restoin-Roitfeld visits Paris, she raids her mom's closet. I love how she takes this distinctive piece and adapts it to her style. Carine chooses to wear it with a black skirt, nude legs, and black shoes—flat at that—upping the chic factor. Julia gives the garment an edgy vibe by pairing it with leather shorts, opaque black tights, and boots. Also note that she is fresh faced from a visit to her favorite Parisian destination for facials, Carita.
