The Pop Magazine Viviane Sassen editorial speaks to the true talent of the photographer. In the high end series titled Fashion, models Melina Gesto and Ronja Furrer were pictured in [contorted positions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contemporary-femininity), many of which appeared quite surreal as they stood suspended in mid air.

Stylist Vanessa Reid matched the creative proclivities of Sassen with much attention to detail. Further teasing out the bizarre, [futuristic motifs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) at play was Reid's inclusion of [form fitting body suits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela), bright hair wraps mimicking the shapes of towels, color blocked ensembles and upscale menswear pieces.

Evidently little was deemed off limits in this production, especially given its showcasing of dumpster trucks, barren green fields and decrepit playgrounds rusting throughout.
