Channeling Blondie circa 1980, Vlada Roslyakova sends some ‘Love’ our way in this retro inspired number by Thanassis Krikis for the August 2013 issue of Numéro Russia #5. Playing a modern day Debbie Harry, Roslyakova reminds us of a time when fashion was all about being fearless and the best beauty came with a healthy dose of energy & attitude. With platinum blonde hair and razor-sharp cheekbones to match, she’s a dead ringer for the iconic rock star, exuding that same sense of spirited funk in a series of wild styles artfully arranged  by Aliona Isaeva. From glamour to grunge and everything in-between, this era was all about the high/low trend blend, with looks that dared to combine thrift store finds with high end designs. Sexy with a hint of sweet, Krikis pays homage to the enduring influence of Blondie in this edgy editorial made with a veritable hodgepodge of vintage influence.
