Julia Restoin Roitfeld is a French creative director, designer, model, and entrepreneur working at

the intersection of fashion, branding, and visual storytelling. With an international career spanning

creative consulting, design collaborations, modelling, film, and editorial influence, she is recognised

for her refined aesthetic and strategic approach to building modern yet timeless brands.

Julia moved to New York in 2004 to attend Parsons School of Design, where she studied Design

Management. While studying, she interned at the renowned creative agency Baron & Baron,

gaining early experience in image-making, branding, and the world of luxury fashion

communications. Upon graduating in 2006, she began her career at Laird + Partners while

simultaneously founding her own creative agency, Global Design Inc., a consultancy specialising

in creative strategy, brand positioning, and visual communication for fashion, beauty, and lifestyle

brands.

Through Global Design Inc., Julia has worked with clients including Max Mara, Jean Paul

Gaultier, and Moda Operandi. From 2006 to 2011, she also served as a freelance consultant for

Miu Miu, contributing to the brand’s creative direction, special projects, buyouts, and growth

during a defining period for the house.

Julia has collaborated with brands on capsule collections and design partnerships including Iris &

Ink, Hervé Léger, LoveShackFancy, and a childrenswear line for River Island, bringing her

signature blend of Parisian sophistication and contemporary femininity to each project. She also

designed two collections for jewellery brand Didier Dubot, further expanding her creative work

into fine accessories and design.

Her creative work also extends to film, having directed a short film for Stuart Weitzman featuring

Poppy Delevingne and Dylan Penn.

Modelling has always run in parallel to Julia’s creative career. She began modelling at a young age,

with her first campaign for A.P.C. in 1996. In 2006, she was chosen as the first face of Tom Ford’s

Black Orchid fragrance, and later walked Tom Ford’s first New York runway show in 2011. She

has since been featured in campaigns and editorial projects for leading international houses

including Lancôme, Givenchy, Jil Sander, De Beers, Bulgari, and Tom Ford, establishing a

strong presence both in front of the camera and behind the scenes.

Julia has also appeared on the covers of leading international publications, including i-D,

photographed by Mario Sorrenti, Madame Figaro, Elle France, photographed by Pamela

Hanson, as well as titles such as Vogue Turkey, Harper’s Bazaar Russia, The Edit, and Grazia

Spain.

She is also the founder of Less is More, a platform dedicated to sustainable living and conscious

lifestyle choices, as well as Romy and the Bunnies, a lifestyle platform inspired by motherhood,

fashion, and modern family life.

In 2020, Julia moved to London, where she continues to expand her international creative work

across consulting, design, and entrepreneurial ventures.

Known for her timeless sensibility and global perspective, Julia continues to partner with brands

and creative ventures that value authenticity, innovation, and enduring style.
