ART WORLD DEALER/CURATOR AND FASHION ALL-STAR
Considering their sensational genes, it is not surprising that Vladimir and Julia Restoin Roitfeld have already established themselves as leaders in their own unique ways. “Growing up in a creative atmosphere, we tried to find our place in that world,” said Vladimir, 30, who has deftly navigated his career as an art dealer and curator by spearheading the trend of pop-up galleries in industrial spaces in New York, Paris, Milan, and London. It is that type of innovative thinking that has become the siblings’ collective calling card. According to Julia, they were taught never to follow trends and to always think for themselves. Embodying the French je ne sais quoi spirit with ease, the elder sister—after being trained by the design firm Baron and Baron, the photographer Craig McDean, and Visionaire—now serves as an art director for fashion houses such as Max Mara, Miu Miu, and Altuzarra. “I truly believe that if you carry yourself with confidence, and feel good about yourself, you can look good in anything,” she says. And she would know. Sporting immaculate style, both Vlad and Julia can often be seen with a trail of photographers following in their wake. The French-born, New York-based duo is constantly evolving; Vladimir has new exhibitions planned in New York and Italy, and Julia is publishing a style guide for mothers called Romy and the Bunnies, named after her young daughter. Expect to see plenty more of them in the time to come. To them, achievement is a way of life.
