Carine Roitfeld For Visionaire 18

Visionaire devoted their eighteenth issue to fashion in 1996 and the 2,500 copies of the numbered limited edition sold out within three weeks of publication. Packaged in a monogrammed leather portfolio created especially for the magazine by Louis Vuitton, Visionaire 18 included the work of many of the fashion world's most innovative and influential designers and image-makers. Of course Carine Roitfeld was involved, she and Mario Testino contributed the two shots of Mary Jo Peace seen here. Among the other visionaries featured were Nan Goldin, Juergen Teller, Terry Richardson, Craig McDean, Alexi Tan, Nathaniel Goldberg, Luis Sanchis, Miles Aldridge, Ellen von Unwerth, and Christophe Rihet; visit the gallery for more stunning images from Visionaire 18.

Roitfeld At Louis Vuitton Maison Launch

Carine Roitfeld attended the opening of Louis Vuitton Maison on Bond Street in London last night and she looked chic in the Balmain dress, Alaïa shoes, and Cesar compression pendant that she wore for Armani's party in Cannes last week. Notice the difference in her hairstyle however. The party sounds completely over the top — guests were blindfolded and taken to a secret party location; DJ Dan Lynwood manned the decks before Donna Summer appeared and was joined on stage by none other than Marc Jacobs; Mark Hix provided the evening's simple and savory repast of Cornish sea bass, asparagus, and wild strawberries. Among the celebrities celebrating LV's lavish launch were Bernard Arnault, Gemma Arterton, Sir Peter Blake, Ozwald Boateng, Alexa Chung, Dominic Cooper, Sophie Dahl, Alice Dellal, Catherine Deneuve, Tracey Emin, Luke Evans, Bryan Ferry, Emilia Fox, Jasmine Guinness, Naomie Harris, Angelica Huston, Jade Jagger, Daisy Lowe, Elle Macpherson, Suzy Menkes, Thandie Newton, Bill Nighy, Gwyneth Paltrow, Grayson Perry, Clemence Poesy, Sir Nicholas Serota, Charles Saumarez Smith, Lady Helen Taylor, Stella Tennant, and Natalia Vodianova.

Vogue Paris March 2010: Rose Cordero

Rose Cordero looks stunning in Louis Vuitton as shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott for the cover of the March issue of Vogue Paris; the colors and textures of the photograph pay tribute to the military trend while transcending it. The entire image glows, perfectly setting off Rose's radiant beauty. I cannot wait to see it in real life, I hope the foil matches the green in her eyeshadow to accent her singular eyes. This is my favorite cover since the brunette Lara Stone issue last September, simply elegant. Perhaps the March issue will herald the beginning of my subscription by post that I received as a lovely Christmas gift back in December... fingers crossed...

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld In London's West End

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld was seen in London's West End yesterday looking a bit more dramatic than usual. Is it the Louis Vuitton scarf she is wearing? She declared to reporters that she is on a hunt for vintage, "Mairead Lewin tomorrow and Portobello Market on Friday." Julia's boots are also by Louis Vuitton, her bag is by Marc Jacobs, and her skirt is by Balenciaga.

Giovanna Battaglia At Louis Vuitton

Giovanna Battaglia looks ferociously good as she sails along en route to the Louis Vuitton show. What a perfect autumnal ensemble. Those leopard shoes are exquisite and look at her leg span! Where I have trouble walking in heels this tall, it looks like Gio is practically sprinting. She is turning heads, too; I hope the man on the scooter doesn't rear end the car in front of him while he checks out Giovanna.
