In February, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld curated an exhibit titled "The Works of Three Photographers" featuring the works of three of his artistic friends. The exhibit—which ran for a mere four days— was sponsored by Louis Vuitton at the gallery Collective Hardware on Manhattan's Lower East Side and included the photographers PC Valmorbida, David Mushegain, and Salim Langatta. It was the first official show for each of these three artists. The hot guest list for the opening included of course Carine Roitfeld, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, Gisele Bündchen, Natalie Vodianova, Lara Stone, Alexander Wang, Erin Wasson, Sarah Lerfel (Colette), Lily Donaldson, Theodora and Alexandra Richards, Devon Aoki, and Stavros Niarchos.
Regarding his friend PC Valmorbida and the exhibit, Vladimir remarked, "PC is younger, and he is still at the point where he is experimenting, but his eye for form is quite impressive. You really see that in his architectural images. I love all of their work, and I trust them as artists and as friends, so I’ve given them a lot of leeway to choose what they show." PC hails from Australia and was formerly linked romantically with Theodora Richards. He also collaborated with Vladimir on last year's exhibit of the work of Marco Perego at Nikki Diana Marquardt Gallery on Place des Vosges.
