Julia Roitfeld’s Arts + Letters

Is it Fashion Week if Julia Restoin Roitfeld doesn’t design an invitation? We don’t think so. Last season, she beckoned fashion kids to Peter Som’s Spring ’08 show (which boasted a beautiful custom lip color from Lancome, and a last breather before Mr. Som took the helm at Bill Blass).
