The 2 Mag Kuan Teo 'Love is a Poison' editorial shoot features a dapper model duo engaging in acrobatic-like poses. Styled by Jason Runholm, transparent articles like the [RetroSuperFuture glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bouquet-collection-1) and coveted [Prada see-through heels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) were all over the shoot, including a Saran-wrapped sofa chair.

Aptly titled 'L'amour c'est un poison,' or 'Love is a poison' *en anglais*, photographer Kuan Teo captures models Raphi Kammer and Maranna using both positioning and accessories in an abnormal, but invigorating way. With that said, beware of the [lobster](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lobster-bag).
