The Russh December 2014 editorial featuring model Anya Lyagoshina displays an assortment of unusual positions. In the images taken by photographer Dario Catellani, Lyagoshina posed with her arms bent and twisted, showcasing the beauty of contortionist stances.
The apparel worn by Lyagoshina in this Russh production was as eye-catching as her bodily formations. Sheer tops revealed dark bras while black leather skirts were paired with tattered tanks. Lingerie additions were quite central to this series as fishnet tights were features alongside thin lace bras.
While many of these pieces are best fit for the bedroom, some of the items are fit for everyday wear. This was seen in wrap blazers, sheer dresses and flowing vests that can be mixed into a variety of ensembles.
