No real details yet but Derek Blasberg congratulated Julia Restoin-Roitfeld as a proud momma on Twitter today so I think we have a new Roitfeld to welcome into the world… it's a girl! Congratulations to Julia and Robert on your beautiful new baby, we can't wait to see pictures!
Thanks to the talented Lee Ferguson for her tender illustration featured above, "Julia et son lapin," she sweetly prepared it weeks ago to be ready for the special occasion.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Robert Konjic have named their new daughter Romy Nicole Konjic, clearly a tribute to Romy Schneider, a style icon admired by both Julia and her mother.
Inspired by the book Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, our talented contributing editor Lee Ferguson has created a series of illustrations in tribute to McQueen's genius, choosing her favorite women to model his designs. Of course Lee envisioned Carine Roitfeld in one of his brilliant creations, complete with black fox fur, leather straps with metal rings, and a zipper running the length of the garment — c'est fantastique ! Very special thanks to Lee for continuing to share her gifts with all of us. To see more of the works in Lee's McQueen series, visit her at A Lefthanded Life.

I was absolutely delighted to receive this photograph from Lee Ferguson, our lovely and talented contributing editor, posed here with her beautiful daughter, Addie. They were so excited upon the arrival of the new IWTBAR tee and mug that they could not wait to use them. I loved the subject line that Lee chose for the photo as well — We Want To Be Roitfelds! Be sure to visit Lee at A Lefthanded Life to see her latest illustrations as inspired by the creations of Alexander McQueen, c'est magnifique !
