Paris Dans La Peau

Accompanying selected September issues of Vogue Paris is a video filmed behind the scenes of a VP editorial titled "Paris dans la peau" highlighting the work of make up artist Tom Pecheux, creative director for Estée Lauder. It focuses on priceless footage of Pecheux, the photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, the model Constance Jablonski, and of course the super stylist Carine Roitfeld on board a boat on the Seine. At 2:17 La Roitfeld dances and at 5:05 she takes control of the shoot. Ooo la la! Make it work, Carine.

Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld In French

In February 2009, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld organized a show titled "The Works of Three Photographers" that included his friends PC Valmorbida, David Mushegain, and Salim Langatta. Housed at Collective Hardware on the Lower East Side and sponsored by Louis Vuitton, the exhibit ran for only four days but someone had the fortitude to capture the spirit of the opening on video. Check out this Facebook video in which Vladimir (along with sister Julia) appears at 1.19; though we hear only Vlad he speaks in French which I had not yet heard, c'est magnifique.

As an aside, pop over to see the latest Giovanna Battaglia photo from The Sartorialist, bellissima...

Roitfeld In Les Filles En Vogue

The June/July issue of Vogue Paris includes a special DVD for lucky French readers titled Les filles en Vogue and Carine Roitfeld appears throughout, discussing the five top models profiled in the documentary. Les filles en Vogue captures the lives of Freja Beha Erichsen, Constance Jablonski, Sessilee Lopez, Sasha Pivovarova, and Natasha Poly amid the intensity of Fashion Week in Paris — hair, makeup, fittings, late nights, and more backstage footage. Visit the Vogue Paris web site to view a six minute preview of Les filles en Vogue including several bits with Carine. I love her entirely grey outfit pictured above, particularly her pewter talons, against the perfect backdrop of her immaculate office.

Carine Roitfeld In St. Tropez

10 TV captured the atmosphere at the Chanel show in St. Tropez and though Carine Roitfeld appears only in small bits, one of these bits is the hottest I have seen yet of her. Pay attention and at 3:15 in the video you can see Carine tapping out the beat on her knee and getting into the music, she is the epitome in sexy chic. J'aaaaadore.

The Roitfelds In Exterieur/Nuit - YSL

We get only a glimpse of Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfeld and her daughter Julia in this video titled Extérieur/Nuit - YSL from Nast Magazine but it is worth it just to see their gorgeous smiles in tandem. I realized how seldom Julia is photographed with her teeth exposed, hmmmm. I like the use of black and white here, it adds a crisp noir feeling as people come and go at the most recent Yves Saint Laurent show in Paris. The parade of Parisian chaussures is an amusing end to the short piece.
