The Spirit & Flesh 'The Dance' editorial is almost as captivating as a live performance, which is saying a lot. The movement of the model is captured on camera in a transient way. As though an [ephemeral creature](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frankies-bikinis-keepsakes-collection) of some sort, Kersti Pohlak flows in front of the camera, her motion blurred in an enchanting way.

Shot by photographer Paul de Luna, the Spirit & Flesh 'The Dance' editorial follows a rather dark theme. The studio has been flooded with an [eerie light and mist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandro-micheles) as though it were simulating the soft glow of the moon on a cool night. This atmosphere perfectly suits the equally [dark wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25), which is comprised of such brands as Bill Blass, Timo Weiland for TSUBO, Victor de Souza and Top Shop.
