If you could saunter down the runway and slip backstage on the heels of Irina Lazareanu, who would you meet, what antics would ensue, and what on earth would you wear?

Irina—Karl Lagerfeld's muse, Kate Moss's BFF, and Pete Doherty's former fiancée—introduces you to her inner circle: models, fashion designers, editors, Hollywood starlets, and rockers, to pilfer the secrets to their individually cool and universally coveted rock 'n' roll style.

She details a host of wardrobe tips and essentials, including dos and don'ts for creating your own folk, retro, punk, or glam rock look.

Including scrapbook collages and lively anecdotes from her life on the fashion and concert circuits, the captivating Romanian-Canadian top model-cum-singer shares showstopping sartorial nuggets that will give your threads—and attitude—a rock 'n' roll edge.

Runway Bird offers an intimate glimpse of style in its most eclectic and authentic form.
