Russian model Vlada Roslyakova is featured in a lonely editorial for the Elle US March 2012 issue that takes place in a series of locations that invite memories of forgotten childhood memories while incorporating spring fashion trends. The melancholic, desolate feel of the shoot is contrasted by the glamour and glitz of the fashion, which is often highly detailed with sequins and cut-outs; much more high-maintenance than the natural, rundown surroundings.
The story, titled 'The Seeker,' features Vlada photographed by Laurie Bartley. The shoot was styled by fashion editor Kate Lanphear, who chose to showcase a wicked pair of Miu Miu leather printed boots. The Elle US March 2012 issue features Gossip Girl star Blake Lively on the cover.
