Restoin-Roitfeld And Konjic In Croatia

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld and Robert Konjic recently sat for an interview and photos with a Croatian magazine. The pair was visiting Dubrovnik for a few days because Konjic has roots in Croatia. I love the chemistry that the couple transmits in even these few photos together. If anyone can translate the article, I would be eternally grateful for your help.

Vogue Paris Translation: Editorial, August 2009

Below is my best attempt to translate Carine Roitfeld's editorial for the August 2009 issue of Vogue Paris. I think that is Carine's handwriting in the margins of the collage of designer photos which served as a mood board for the issue.

C'est une première dans Vogue. Un parti pris insufflé par une tendance qui caractérise a plupart des maisons de mode dans la zone de turbulences que nous traversons : le retour aux racines, le recentrage, sur ses lignes de force, l'expression haut et fort de son identité. Quand l'horizon est incertain, l'avenir une piste de sables mouvants, plonger dans l'origine de son succès est un refuge. D'où l'idée de ce numéro exceptionnel, totalement orchestré par les photographes Inez Van Lamsweerde et Vinoodh Matadin, qui mettent en scène et réinterprètent en 64 total looks la singularité et la force de caractère des plus grands créateurs d'aujourd'hui. Du tailleur Chanel au smoking Saint Laurent, en passant par l'épure absolue de Balenciaga ou l'éros ‹‹tragi-sophistiqué›› des Dolce & Gabbana, les silhouettes qui se succèdent vont à l'essentiel. Tout comme la sélection subjective des chocs culturels de la rentrée auxquels nous croyons. Un message clair et stylé dont l'unique but est de susciter le désir. Et d'envisager l'automne à venir comme une saison de plaisirs.

This is a first in Vogue. In part given breath by a tendency which has characterized the majority of the houses of fashion in the zone of turbulence that we are traversing: to return to their roots, recentring, on their lines of force; the expression high and strong of their identity. When the horizon is uncertain, the future a moving sand track, to plunge into the origin of success is like a refuge. The idea for this exceptional number was completely orchestrated by photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, in which we reinterpret 64 total looks with the singularity and the force of character of the greatest creators of today. From the Chanel suit to the Saint Laurent smoking, while passing by the absolute purity of Balenciaga or the tragic-sophisticated eros of Dolce & Gabbana, the silhouettes which follow one another capture the essence. All like the subjective selection of the cultural shocks of the reentry in which we believe. A clear message and style of which the single goal is to cause desire. And to consider the autumn to come as a season of pleasures.
