Model Valerija Kelava poses with fake limbs and bizarre makeup in this surreal editorial for Double Magazine. These shots look like [Salvador Dali paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dal-collection) brought to life. Some of these photos include Kelava sporting extra arms, while others play around with her eyes and hair.

This series is entitled 'S-Sur/Real', which seems extremely fitting considering the content. This [monochromatic editorial](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) features black and white attire, all of which is formal wear. However, these shots focus more on the artistic elements than on the featured fashion.

Photographer Julia Hetta is behind this fantastic series. Hetta's works tend to have a dark and artistic beauty to them, and this Double Magazine editorial is no exception. From melting eyes to hair-covered faces, this series is filled with striking [surrealist elements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection).
