Julia, Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Tango for Mango Spring 2009 February 6, 2009 4:52 pm >> Last season, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld mugged for British chain Accessorize, and this season both she and her brother, Vladimir, are appearing in ads for Spanish chain Mango. This isn't the first time they've worked together for a brand — Julia art directed the Fall 2008 Rock & Republic campaign that Vladimir appeared in — but as the mind recalls, this is the first time they've been faces for a brand together. Carine's influence runs through both — Julia is styled like a portrait of her mother in these ads, with the kohl-rimmed eyes and brown hair flopping over one eyes; and Vladimir has taken his mother's favorite cause, amfAR, as his own — he's curating a photography exhibit during Fashion Week to benefit the foundation.
Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld Launches First Photography Exhibit February 18, 2009 1:28 pm >> Last night marked the opening of Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld's Louis Vuitton-sponsored, curated exhibit of three photographers and close friends of his — PC Valmorbida (boyfriend of Theodora Richards), David Mushegain and Salim Langatta. Both the party and after-party at Indochine (a Roitfeld favorite) were super crowded — the latter hit capacity and saw Carine Roitfeld dancing on the restaurant's banquettes. Sister Julia, girlfriend Lily Donaldson, and godfather Mario Testino were all in attendance, as were a number of other fashion folk — Lara Stone, Erin Wasson, Gisele Bundchen. And Carine was proud of her son's current career choice — according to Vladimir, it was his parents who pushed him to move to the US — "I don't know if he will do more shows or film, but when you try to produce things, it's a hard hard job, and I'm very proud of him. I'll be very happy if he becomes successful."*image: source, source, filmmagic

Altuzarra Fall 2010 Wows Well-Heeled Crowd with Sutured Suiting and Blood-Red Gowns February 14, 2010 2:03 pm >> Joseph Altuzarra may have gone with an intimate presentation at Milk Studios last night, but his guest list packed a lot of punch. The Roitfeld clan was well-represented: Carine, Vladimir, and Julia were all there, with Vlad greeting his sister with a kiss on each cheek; his girlfriend, Giovanna Battaglia, and Julia von Boehm showed up, too. The Trainas were also out in full force: Victoria and Samantha sat next to Chad Muska (there to support girlfriend Vanessa Traina, who walked in the show for the second time and was listed in the program notes as an "advisor") and Alexander Wang, who was relaxing with his show behind him, enjoying a glass of white wine, and chatting to close friend and interior decorator to the models Ryan Korban. And then there was Anna Wintour, attending Altuzarra's show for the first time, who arrived early to have a chat with the designer backstage pre-show; after she took her seat, Carine smiled at Wintour as she passed.
