Daughter of Carine Roitfeld, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, is featured in the March 2015 issue of L'Officiel Magazine Netherlands wearing a high-necked and demure look on the publication's cover, while inside being presented in numerous [haute-couture looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-fall-2025), including [corseted and veiled pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridal-lingerie-line) which are given a modern twist with textured hardware and embellishments of vibrant colors.

Styled by Lester Garcia and photographed by Alexei Hay, the editorial is a celebration of strong women and a tribute by L'Officiel Magazine that also includes a feature on Selma Hayak within its pages. The old-made-new-again [braided hairstyles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintageinspired-jewelry) were created by Fernando Torrent with the striking yet tasteful makeup being applied by Kristen Gallegoes.

The editorial appears to be reminiscent of 18th century fashions and styles with a charisma and edginess when it comes to the fabrics and styling of various Givenchy pieces that are bold and avant-garde.

L'Officiel Magazine bridges the dramatic and the fierce of ancient and modern to symbolize the ongoing strength of the female spirit.
