See video hereCarine Roitfeld is making her first return to styling magazine editorials since leaving Vogue Paris for V's September issue. For those who can't wait until Sept. 8 — when the magazine hits newsstands — to see her 72-page, Elizabeth Taylor-themed collaboration with Mario Testino — featuring Aymeline Valade — a peek at the shoot in the video.
In March, it was reported that Carine Roitfeld would serve as muse, stylist, and guest editor for the Barneys New York Fall 2011 ad campaign — and now images have surfaced showing that Roitfeld will star in them as well. Entitled "Carine's World", the Mario Sorrenti-shot campaign features the former French Vogue editor looking très chic in a black Rick Owens leather-skirt-and-sweater ensemble. But Carine's not the only Roitfeld to be featured in the new campaign; daughter Julia Restoin-Roitfeld poses in a sheer Givenchy number, while son Vladimir Restoin-Roitfeld makes an appearance in his own clothing. Other famous faces to appear in the collaboration — out this September — reportedly include Natasha Poly, Victoire de Castellane, Dasha Zhukova, Noami Campbell, and Marie Amelie Suave.
“I find Chinese women exquisite. I had never worked with Fei Fei before, and I found her absolutely ravishing. She has the grace of a child; she is bewitching, like a fairy tale.”
“I have worked with Crystal before, when she was more full-figured and voluptuous. I think there are all types of beauty, and I have always liked very curvy women – maybe because I am very skinny myself. But even now, slimmed down, she’s still magnificent.”
“Mary is Mario Sorrenti’s wife. You rarely see her at parties because she often stays home with her beautiful children, as her family is everything to her. This is why I wanted to put her in an evening dress. She’s stunning, with a very American kind of beauty, the kind that will endure forever.”
“I met Saskia at a Givenchy runway show and hired her immediately. She is an exceptional model, and I put her on the cover of my final issue of Vogue.”
“Victoire is like family. She is a striking character and her jewelry designs show that she has an otherworldly talent. This is a real Parisian — very amusing, unique, and a wonderful eccentric.”
“Malgosia is one of those rare models that really understands photography, and will do anything to get a good photo. She’s very intelligent, and we’ve worked together many times. Once, we partnered with artist Taryn Simon to shoot her nude in a Japanese restaurant with sushi on top of her.”
“I once saw Vanessa at a dinner in Paris with her mother, Danielle Steele. She was in Balenciaga and I thought, “Who is that girl?” She had such an expressive and fascinating face. Later, she became my intern at Vogue.”
