Model Maria Palm Lyduch conveys the serious and stoic nature that some athletes are known to adopt when training for an event in the ELLE Denmark ‘Gymnastic Rhythm’ editorial. Despite the cold vibe present throughout the photoshoot, there is a romantic element as well that draws people in. Lyduch appears almost lonely in each still, and the viewer feels compelled to comfort her.
Appearing in the magazine’s April 2012 issue, the ELLE Denmark Gymnastic Rhythm editorial showcases fashion that is as subdued as the brunette beauty is herself. Adhering to a strict white palette, each outfit is something that might be worn by an actual gymnast. Granted, the looks are a little more dressy than an athlete would be accustomed to.
