A Bitch To Behold (x2): Carine Roitfeld and Daughter Julia Reston-Roitfeld

I was really pulling for French Vouge's Carine Roitfeld to take over the reins at W Magazine, because who doesn't love a French bitch telling us fat Americans what to do.  In any case, she didn't get the job, which is what all us fat Americans hear.  Instead former T-Magazine Stefano Tonchi will hold the post in an attempt to make W magazine, for a lack of a better word, good.  In any case, Roitfeld is known for her crazy outfits a-la-gaga, controversial runway headlines and the wild child foil to her American counterpart, Anna Wintour.

Carine looking like a total betty above.

She grew up in a very bourgeois upbringing to her Russian filmmaker father and French mother.  After dabbiling in modeling she found her way into fashion journalism and bounced around till 2001 when she was named the Editor and Chief of French Vogue.  Take a look at her Parisian penthouse below.

 

 The view from Roitfeld's Parisian Penthouse

 Roitfeld let the beautiful, original crown molding and detailing throughout the bones of the apartment take center stage and decorated with modern, sparse furniture with clean lines.  Clutter need not apply.

 Not sure what a fung shei master would say about that storage center in the middle of the hallway.

 Roitfeld has even used her home as a location for French Vogue.

 On top of being one of the final words in fashion, Carine is also a mother of two, a son Vlad and a daughter, Julia, pictured below.

Julia and her brother are making a names for themselves in fashion, art and on the party scene. Julia took after her mother and even had her New York City Apartment photographed for the urban photographer Todd Selby and his website.

 Julia Reston-Roitfeld has forgone bookcases in favor of stacking her favorite magazines and table top books on the floor; tres chic!

 Are you surprised at her collection of Vogues? Neither were we.

 

Love the creative use of displaying her photographs.

 I need a detailed list of what this closet is comprised of.

I mean... I would like to know where this apartment is that she has all this space to not have any furniture.  Or is that she doesn't have a lot of furniture that makes it look like she has so much space..?

If you would like to creep on more of their pictures and read about where you can find a Roitfeld's used tampon visit I Want To Be A Roitfeld, where this freak who calls herself "Kellina de Boer" documents their every moves.  Apparently, its some chick with a laptop in the middle of now-wheres-land Boston with far too much time on her hands.  I mean, this family is the final word in all things cool, so casual stalking is highly encouraged.
