Designers left, right and centre have this season been throwing free clothes at the Art Director, Julia Restoin Roitfield, and this courtship may however have something to do with Julia being the daughter of the much-loved French fashion editor, Carine Roitfield and Christian Restoin, the former owner of the label Equipment.
Growing up in such a fashion forward environment is one of the reasons Julia is so intrigued by both creativity in the design and fashion world and possibly why she decided to begin a career in such a creative industry.
Julia spends most of her time in either Paris or New York, both places are extreme fashion capitals and also the reason why the Art Director and model has an adopted such a cultivated and signature style.
One of the art director’s and model’s proudest moments is said to be starring as Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, which has been described as the ‘Ford flotilla’ of fragrance and cosmetics initiatives.

The model appears clutching the bottle in a boudoir-like atmosphere. Tom Ford said he chose Julia to front this particular campaign as he believes her to be “exactly what beauty is.
