Carine Roitfeld: Gucci Gucci Girl

In 1998, the British magazine ELLE Decoration had the acumen to ask, "Gucci girl... Tom Ford's muse... What's her place like?" and Carine Roitfeld graciously permitted them access to her Parisian sanctuary for their May issue. She and her partner, Christian "Sisley" Restoin, maintain a minimalist decor that is refined and elegant while at the same time warm and inviting. I admire the eloquent description of Carine and Sisley by editor Sally Brampton: "In the cool, light space of their Paris apartment, the two look like living pieces of Le Corbusier; streamlined and devastatingly elegant."

David Chipperfield is the architect that revamped this 1930s gem into one of the chicest living spaces in the world; much of the bespoke furniture is also his design mixed with the work of Le Corbusier and Mies van der Rohe. The spread was photographed by Martin Morrell for ELLE Decoration. Visit the gallery to see "Gucci Gucci Girl" in its entirety.

CR Fashion Book: Dive Right In

The second issue of CR Fashion Book is due to publish in February and our initial peek at the magazine is fascinating... Stylist Mélanie Huynh shows the season’s resort looks with a splash of imagination in the editorial “Dive Right In.” Model Anmari Botha sports swimwear by Speedo and Arena underneath tops, shorts, skirts, and dresses by Balenciaga, Marc Jacobs, Lanvin, Chanel, and Calvin Klein. The pièce de résistance is the headgear — the Balenciaga turban and the swimcaps by Headcovers Unlimited — très sporty, très chic. The brilliant editorial was shot at Piscine Pontoise, Carine Roitfeld's favorite swimming pool in Paris, by Robert Nethery. After this seductive tease, I am certainly excited to see more of CR Fashion Book Issue 2…
