For anyone who isn't familiar with Julia Restoin Roitfeld, her name has long been synonymous with the world of fashion. As the daughter of one of the fashion industry's most prominent and respected editors, style is in her DNA. Her mother, Carine Roitfeld, was Editor-in-Chief of French Vogue for a decade, meaning Julia spent her formative years front row at fashion shows, immersed in the world of fashion.
I first came across Julia nearly 20 years ago, when she was one of the most stylish and recognisable faces front row at London Fashion Week. If a designer was looking to invite the coolest names in fashion, Julia was always on the guest list. What was already clear to me at the time was her innate sense of style, no doubt inherited from her mother, but also her determination to carve out her own path.
