Frivolous Friday

Can you believe this is carine at 18 years old? Stunning! No wonder she looks so good at 56 years old (below). Yes, you read right - 56 years old! Amazing.

I loved the interview with Carine in 10 Magazine where shesaid that being Chic is something that cannot be learned - it's an attitude. So true. I also love those shoes. Julia and Carine - bringing the Double Fab to the front row

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld's "Library". Small, non?

This is Julia Restoin-Roitfelds Wardrobe - shoe section.

It's Friday! I'm feeling inspired and loving all things pleasing to the eye, so I have been scrolling through some of my favourite blogs - and have re-posted some of my fav images so far.

I also stumbled across a crazy fan blog - I Want To Be A Roitfeld. (http://www.iwantotbearoitfeld.com/ ) Have you ever seen it before? I'm mesmerized - and I love it! (Me? Stalker? Perhaps.)

Have a good one. x

Peter: I loved that article from 10 too, but i think your post is even more fascinating (if not voyeristic). It was a great read. What I loved were the many amazing insights. I kept nodding in agreement - the no clutter at home, the mixing of black with navy (which i do all the time), the hatred of Crocs. In fact, I used that exact quote in a Westfield style guide I wrote (long story!). Can't wait to see her new Barneys campaign - I think we will have to make a pilgramage to New York.

Roitfeld Madness

Not only can we look forward to a full Carine Roitfeld book Irreverant later this year (and a Julia Restoin-Roitfeld fragrance), the latest news is that our muse is teaming up with one of my all time favourite photographer Mario Sorrenti as a guest editor and stylist for Barney's New York fall ad campaign, catalogue and window displays! 

If Kate Moss signs on to this project I'll die happy.

Sarah: Fab Collab!

Hooray! Cheers to fabulous collaborations! Big Roitfeld and Little Restoin-Roitfeld, Tom Ford and French Vogue, Sarah and Peter... the list is endless (Ok, the list is only three collaborations long right now, but what a list it is!)

Thank You Tom Ford for giving me a legitimate reason to, once again, rush out and buy French Vogue! I can breathe a sigh of relief that my critics will be silenced for another month (so what if I can't read French, TOM FORD is the guest editor - it's a collectors edition!).

Meanwhile, Peter, I watched the video again and... no, sorry - I still hate it.

It's the kind of abstract fashion creation that makes me want to hurt myself whenever Fashion TV is on. The music, the faux intensity, the "symbolism". I don't buy it, or like it. However I love the Restoin-Roitfeld, so it is saved in the end.

Happy Friday! To collaborations...

Peter: Joyeux Julia

One of the many things Sarah and I share is a mild fascination love! for the Restoin-Roitfeld. That's why we will be anxiously awaiting her inevitable appearance in the December issue of French Vogue, guest edited by fellow fan Tom Ford.
  

In the meantime see below for some Restoin-Roitfeld amazingness – a video for Givaudan perfumers which Sarah doesn't like for some strange reason.
