As far as fashion offspring go, Julia Roitfeld (29) is one lucky girl. As only daughter of famed Vogue Paris editor-in-Chief and style icon Carine Roitfeld, Julia seems to be following in her mother's Alaia clad footsteps into the world of fashion. Roitfeld has only come to the attention of the fashion press in the past few years, most notably after her graduation from Parsons School of Design in New York back in 2006. Since then she has been a front Row fixture on the fashion scene, attending countless catewalk shows as well as having her face embellish multiple campaigns, most notably Tom Ford's first fragrance 'Black Orchid' and Jil Sander's debut fragarance, 'Jil'.
In recent years Roitfeld has wowed us with her unique and edgy style which is distinctly similar to her mother's daring taste. Her style has a slightly more feminine edge, all the while still retaining the sophisticated sexiness, her mother is known for. Recently short, sequined and Balmain are thes words of choice, with Roitfeld turning up to numerous events tightly wound in a Balmain bandage dress. But sexy is only one of the many personalities of Roitfeld's style. It's hard to pinpoint an exact look with this girl, with her turning up at Donna Karen all casual in a pair of jeans and a coat, at Calvin Klein in denim cut-offs and a leather jacket and then at DVF in a flirty white eyelet dress with a pin stripe waistcoat. She is a fashion chameleon, never one to stick with one look for too long, always keeping us on our toes, and never a slave to trends.
But while fashion is key to her social existance she also understands that clothes are more then just something you wear. Speaking to to the UK Times she said "some people think that clothes are just things that you wear to cover yourself but i'm blown away because clothes to me are a sort of new pop art. Clothes can be either art or design but need a real purpose". This is a girl who not only exudes style but understands it as a form of art and self expression....a true style maven.
