First Look: Roitfelds Do Mango

julia roitfeld for mango.jpgjulia roitfeld for mango .jpgWord broke awhile back that Julia Roitfeld would be the Spring 09 face of Mango following campaigns with Gap, Tom Ford and Rock & Republic.

She’s joined by her brother and Lily Donaldson beau Vladimir (chosen for their position in “the new generation of European high society”) as well as Dakota Griffith - Melanie and Don Johson’s spawn - in the Spanish chain’s latest campaign.

Carine’s daughter might be super famous within the high fashion industry but we fail to see how she’ll connect to the same customer targeted by Penelope Cruz. Unless of course it’s the fact that she’s so pretty it doesn’t matter what her last name is.

Anyway, Julia poses in a white trench, white jeans and the most Carrie Bradshaw-ish flower we’ve seen in a very long time. They should have had Carine style the shoot - then we might brave this cold for a trip to Mango.

By the way, does anyone know where the Mango is? And are price points Zara or H&M?

speaking of Carrie, my brother (okay, he is 11) today asked me "is there a film of Sex and the City? I thought there was just a tv show!" I have no idea how we are even from the same gene pool.

why didn't they just use Corine? This Nepotism is so tired. Julia doesn't even have her own identity...She looks like a less worn out version of her mother, minus the man-tan and permanently kohl smudged eyes. Well actually I'm wrong on the eyes....hers are just as blackened. So those of you who can't ape Mama and buy Balenciaga can copy her MINI ME and get it for cheap at MANGO! Another fabulous reason to drink more Kool-Aid.

Sorry Julia, I love this girl's style with all my heart. I also love that she's not obsessed with being skinny!!!
Thing is, she just isn't a model, and I am completely biased when it comes to having models in adverts, editorials or on magazine covers! POWER TO THE MODEL!!!
Also she was totally photo-shopped to look thinner. Tut Tut.

Number 3, it's Carine nor Corine.

OOPS!!!!! CARINE. Forgive my spelling of her name, but it's the content that counts.
