The daughter of former Vogue fashion powerhouse Carine Roitfeld, Julia is a social fixture, sometime art director, and model.

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 in 2006. In 2006 she also started her own consulting company, Global Design Inc, focused on advertising and art direction primarily working with small fledgling fashion companies. At 31 Roitfeld also received a lucrative modeling contract as the new face of Lancome beauty, signaling her return to the modeling world.

Roitfeld announced that she is expecting her first child—with model boyfriend Robert Konjic—in late 2011. Her previous boyfriends have included Greek half-wit millionaire Stavros Niarchos III and model Magnus Berger.
