Julia Restoin Roitfeld: British GQ September 2014

I loved the images of Julia Restoin Roitfeld that appeared in the September 2014 issue of British GQ and I regret that I am only now finding the time to talk about the issue here. In typical French fashion, Julia appears casual, sexy, and elegant all at once in the photos by Guy Aroch as styled by Julie Ragolia. 

In the first image, Julia looks tough in a black leather shirt by Protagonist as she poses in front of a photo of Andy Warhol shot in the 1960s by Arthur Fellig (also known as Weegee).

We then see JRR lounging seductively on a blanket of fur while modeling a white lace bodysuit by Kiki de Montparnasse.

In the following shot, Julia gazes intensely at the camera in a grey knit sweater by Vince. I think she looks the most like her mother in this picture.

Next comes my favorite among the images: Mademoiselle J perches on a stool in the same grey knit sweater by Vince paired with knickers by Myla and shoes by Christian Louboutin. Bibliothécaire sexy… Ooo la la….

In the final photo, we see Julia Restoin Roitfeld enjoying a cup of tea while looking utterly comfy chic and alluring in a peach knit sweater by Ralph Lauren and knickers by Myla.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld X Kiki de Montparnasse

The capsule collection of lingerie that Julia Restoin-Roitfeld designed for Kiki de Montparnasse makes a perfect Valentine's Day gift for... yourself! Her elegant collection of undergarments is obviously inspired by the glamour of the pin-up girls of the 1950s and 1960s and made to flatter the hourglass figure. Featured here are Julia's Chantilly lace and charmeuse underwire bra and high-waisted briefs for Kiki de Montparnasse, now available via Net-a-porter.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld For Kiki De Montparnasse

Next week Julia Restoin-Roitfeld launches another design collaboration, this time with luxurious lingerie label Kiki de Montparnasse. When asked by ELLE about the design process, Julia explained: "I had quite a strong idea of what I wanted to achieve but had absolutely no knowledge of lingerie design. Lingerie design is very specific—it’s not just about looking good, it’s really about the fit and every detail counts. I had many meetings with the team at Kiki, submitted my sketches, and then it was about seeing what was doable, the fabrics we could play with, etc. I knew what I wanted, but I couldn’t have done it so well without their expertise." The pieces by Julia will be available in Kiki de Montparnasse stores beginning Wednesday, 14 December. Visit the photo gallery to see more...
