Julia Restoin-Roitfeld For i-D Magazine

Mamma mia! Or perhaps "ma maman" is a better choice… In any event, expectant mother Julia Restoin-Roitfeld looks stunning and radiant on the cover of the Summer 2012 issue of i-D Magazine, "Lights, Camera, Action." The shot was styled by her mother, Carine Roitfeld, and every detail perfectly accentuates Julia's assets, with the sweetest spot being the stuffed teddy bear covering her right eye in the i-D tradition. Shot by Mario Sorrenti, Julia bares her baby bump beneath the sexy Cadolle bra and the shimmering McQueen cape, and notice that she is wearing her Cartier Love bracelet that was a gift from her parents, another sweet touch. Inside the issue, JRR reveals her ideas for dressing the baby and the songs she will play for him or her. I like to think of it as the first magazine to include three generations of Roitfelds. The goodness hits newsstands 10 May.

I Want To Be Lula

My impeccably lovely friend Lula agreed to share with all of us her vision for 2012 as well as a glimpse of her glamorous life at Herself headquarters. IWTBAR asked, "What do you forecast for 2012? For yourself? For Herself? For the world of fashion, art, and beyond?" and below is her delightful response. Of course Lula showed up for her interview looking just like Carine Roitfeld on the cover of i-D... très sexy, très chic... Merci mille fois, beautiful Lula!

I Want To Be Lula.

Myself, Herself.
So I want to wear black and look for the bright sides.
And the wild ones.

I Want To Keep On Searching.
And keep on painting my own reality.
Keep borrowing words from the others.

I Want To Go To Places I Have Never Gone Before.
And come back home at night.

I Want To Start Writing A Diary.
I'm not sure I'll ever share its pages.

I Want To Draw Everything.
Print it on paper, on silk, post it online.

For Fall 2011, i-D Magazine offers four different covers for its Dreams and Aspirations issue and who better to inspire dreams than Carine Roitfeld? As shot by Terry Richardson, La Roitfeld winks out at us in her own special way, by covering one eye with her namesake "Carine" clutch. Reportedly she will also share her aspirations in an interview in the magazine. Others featured inside: Lara Stone photographed by David Bailey, Abbey Lee by Richard Bush, Fei Fei Sun, and the muses of Richard Nicoll including Josephine de la Baume, Louise Gray, Roksanda Ilincic, Lulu Kennedy, Sara Blomqvist, Sarah Mower and his mother. The issue appears on newsstands on 21 September.
