Photographer Erik Tostensson lensed up-and-coming British model Sam Rollinson in leather for Vogue Russia. The series of images carry a fresh, rock n’ roll inspired theme, featuring the model in seriously stylish leather and leopard pieces.
Styled by Sarah Richardson, the first outfit features a structured leather trenchcoat. Punk rock accents, like belted detailing, gold studded jewelry and wayfarer sunglasses add mystery to this look.
The model gives off a tough, Georgia May Jagger vibe, wearing a shiny vinyl trenchcoat in the next image, with kohl-lined eyeliner to emphasize the eyes. Rolled sleeves give the viewer a chance to soak up subtle accessories, like a series of metallic bangles. Minimalist and chic, this is a simple way to grab attention wherever you are in the world.
Spice things up with an asymmetrical leather dress and a thin leather belt at the waist. Leather chokers are definitely on trend, why not feature the best of both worlds by rocking a dress with an attached collar?
Adding a simple belt at the waist creates an alluring, hourglass silhouette. Bold and brazen, a leather top with just the right amount of smoky eye is another instant killer look. Sam Rollinson’s feathery locks and silver hoop earrings complete this ready to roll vibe.
Create your own take on a modern femme fatale by mixing leather and exotic prints like leopard. Keep things looking slim and sultry with a high neck top tucked into a sexy miniskirt. The more detail, the better! Look for minis with asymmetrical zippers, belted accents and quilted patterning for a luxe vibe.
Let your belly ring shine this summer and dare to bare it all with a cheetah print cropped top. Add a thick leather belt with grommeted detailing to let ‘em know you’re not playing around. Amp up the volume with a tri-layered chain to add intrigue.
A high waisted leather skirt with abstract patterning and subtle but cool graphics looks on point for this season. Go for a good girl gone bad look by experimenting with mixed textures like leather and leopard.

I appreciate how the styling balanced edgy pieces like studded belts with cleaner silhouettes, especially the high neck top tucked into a mini skirt.
Rolled sleeves showing off metallic bangles was such a small detail, but it added a lot of personality and broke up the heaviness of all the leather.
That asymmetrical leather dress with the thin waist belt sounded like the standout look to me, simple but really effective at creating that hourglass shape.
The mix of leopard and leather throughout the shoot kept it from feeling one-note, especially with the cropped cheetah top and grommeted belt combo.
I liked how the shiny vinyl trenchcoat and kohl-lined eyes gave off that Georgia May Jagger energy without feeling like a direct copy, just a strong influence.
Sam Rollinson’s feathery hair and silver hoops helped soften some of the tougher looks, which made the overall vibe more wearable than costume-like.
The emphasis on small styling choices like belts and bangles really showed how to make leather outfits feel intentional rather than just heavy or overdone.
The high waisted leather skirt with abstract patterning sounded like a nice twist on a classic, especially paired with subtle graphics instead of loud prints.
I liked the idea of keeping the silhouette slim and sultry with a tucked-in high neck top, it balances out the boldness of leather and animal prints.
The mention of a leather choker attached to a dress collar was interesting, it’s a clever way to incorporate the trend without piling on accessories.
The structured leather trenchcoat paired with gold studded jewelry really set the tone for the whole editorial, it felt polished but still rebellious in a wearable way.
The smoky eye paired with a leather top is such a classic combination, but the article made it feel fresh again by keeping the rest of the styling minimal.
Mixing quilted textures, asymmetrical zippers, and belted accents in the minis added depth without overwhelming the outfits, which can be tricky with leather.
The tri-layered chain detail with the cropped leopard top felt very rock n’ roll without tipping into cliché territory, which I think the shoot handled well overall.
That ‘good girl gone bad’ concept came through clearly with the mix of textures, especially when pairing sleek leather pieces with louder leopard patterns.
