Roitfeld In De Pury Collection

Although he has recently made his home in London, Simon de Pury's chic Parisian pied-à-terre appeared in New Paris Interiors and, while browsing the book recently, I was delighted to see that he collects the work of Carine Roitfeld. As one of the world's most successful auctioneers, de Pury has taken the opportunity to amass an impressive collection of art, furniture, and artifacts that includes pieces by Pablo Picasso, Takashi Murakami, Ron Arad, George Condo, Ai Weiwei, Os Gêmeos, and Juergen Teller, among many others.

Above the dining table and chairs designed especially for him by Franz West, de Pury has chosen to hang the work of one of my favorite artistic collaborations — Carine Roitfeld and Mario Testino. Their piercing image of Eva Herzigova fondling her blade, clad in a white Valentino top that is shielded from the blood by a butcher's apron, must certainly lead to interesting conversations over dinner. The image was published originally in the provocative editorial titled "The Butcher" which Roitfeld and Testino created for The Face in 1997. Suffice to say, Simon de Pury is a man of rare taste.

CR Fashion Book Issue 2 Launch Party

Carine Roitfeld celebrated her second issue of CR Fashion Book with a lavish soirée in the salons of the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris. As the theme for the issue is dance, you might imagine the evening would focus on dancing… A sampling of guests were asked to pick a favorite dance: Jessica Chastain loves to jitterbug, Karl Lagerfeld likes to tango, Riccardo Tisci prefers to salsa, and Carine Roitfeld adores ballet, which was reflected in the evening's entertainment. The principal ballerina for the Paris Opera, Marie-Agnès Gillot, performed with Vincent Chaillet to the song "O mio babbino caro." Chaillet then shared the first dance of the evening with Carine Roitfeld.

The lengthy star-studded list of guests that turned out in support of CR Fashion Book included Christian Restoin, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Jessica Alba, Fabien Baron, Giovanna Battaglia, Sara Battaglia, Mariacarla Boscono, Hamish Bowles, Adrien Brody, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Claire Courtin-Clarins, Saskia de Brauw, Louis-Marie de Castelbajac, Victoire de Castellane, Delfina Delettrz, Alice Dellal, Anna Dello Russo, Peter Dundas, Alber Elbaz, Isabeli Fontana, Magdalena Frackowiak, Stephen Gan, Daphne Groenveld, Jamie Hince, Kate Moss, Karlie Kloss, Hannelore Knuts, Karolina Kurkova, Johan Lindeberg, Margherita Missoni, Alison Mosshart, Arizona Muse, Gaspar Noé, Tom Pecheux, Pier Paolo Piccioli, Gareth Pugh, Gaia Repossi, Alexandra Richards, Francesco Russo, Francesco Scognamiglio, Ulyana Sergeenko, Amanda Seyfried, Caroline Sieber, Joan Smalls, Mario Sorrenti, Jessica Stam, Olivier Theyskens, Riccardo Tisci, Anthony Vaccarello, Giambattista Valli, Harley Viera-Newton, Edita Vilkeviciute, Ellen von Unwerth, Alexander Wang, Kanye West, and Olivier Zahm.
