Vlada Roslyakova, known best for her distinctive, backward-leaning runway strut, has created a public look-book of all of her favourite Style.com beauty and fashions looks.
Essentially, this gives fans a sneak peak into the mind of the 20-year-old Russian model and gives the public an idea of the sorts of things that inspire her. Featured in the gallery are images from Vlada's Couture Lookbook.
She features a lot of photos of herself, with commentary on the shows such as, "The makeup and hair at Dior are not to be outdone; it is a signature."
All her notes are cute and many fans would find her words sartorially insightful. "A lady shouldn't play favorites, but I can't help it! Chanel is always a favorite and always a surprise," she says.
Similar to a celebrity blog, public look books allow people to feel more connected with celebrities. Engaging with fans through the internet is one of the easiest ways for stars to leverage their personal brands. Singers like Kanye West and Kylie choose to do so with their own blogs while other celebrities like Vlada choose to share their fashion tastes.
