WWD reports this morning that Ms. Roitfeld has taken a creative consulting gig at Barneys New York. She’ll be working on the Fall ad campaign, catalogue and windows for the Madison Avenue mode-mark. Working with longtime friend and collaborator, Mario Sorrenti and Barneys CD Dennis Freedman, Roitfeld will go back to her styling roots for the initiative, as well as serving as editor.
Freedman tells WWD that the modern muse’s personal style will be reflected in the campaign as well.
Well, then, it’s only a matter of time before Gotham goes full-tilt French goth, n’est-ce pas?
And if you think this is a full-time job, it isn’t. Ms. Roitfeld insists she loves her freedom and wants to do many things, working on numerous creative projects. For one, her much-anticipated tome Carine Roitfeld: Irreverent with Rizzoli comes out October 4th.
Her style may be inspired by all things gothic, but she is a true Renaissance woman du jour.
