Suspended Fashion Editorials

.Cent Magazine's Torturous Spread

British biannual publication .Cent Magazine leaves the poor model hanging high and dry in this intense editorial from their Spring/Summer 2009 issue.

Photographer Manuel Vason captured a model wearing a full body suit (including her head) tied up and suspended in the air.

The kinky editorial brings the focus on the shoes and accessories since the model is just like a naked mannequin.

Faceless models are becoming a regular presence in fashion editorials and shows, thanks to fashion designer Maison Martin Margiela. See more below.
