Who

The daughter of fashion powerhouse Carine Roitfeld, Julia is a social fixture, model and aspiring designer.

Backstory

Julia's fashion industry credentials are hard to beat: Her mom is Carine Roitfeld, the longtime editor-in-chief of French Vogue. (As for her dad, he's clothing entrepreneur Christian Restoin.) Raised in Paris, Julia attended the Paris-based affiliate of Parsons before transferring to the school's New York campus. As the offspring of one of fashion's most powerful figures, she was a darling of the New York social set from the moment she stepped off the Air France flight.

During college (and when she wasn't taking acting classes or out on the town), Roitfeld interned at Fabien Baron's design firm Baron & Baron and with fashion photographer Craig McDean. After finishing up school, she took a full-time job with Baron's firm, then moved on to Laird & Partners. She has much bigger aspirations, of course. Family friend Tom Ford picked her as the face of Black Orchid, his first fragrance, and in August 2007 she became the face of Eric Villency's new denim line Restoration of the Monarchy.

Personal

Roitfeld lives on Bleecker Street and previously dated Greek dunderhead millionaire Stavros Niarchos III. She's now seeing model Magnus Berger.
