It's probably safe to assume that Abbey Lee Kershaw did not break much of a sweat during the shooting of Strength in Style by Tom Munro. The Numero #123 editorial features the blonde beauty dressed in [outfits incredibly ill-suited for exercising](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/set-active) and looks absolutely gorgeous as she flexes her muscles, leaps, bends and pulls on rings and ropes.

There's a compelling depth of contrast within these images between such bright whites of the model's skin and hair and the [black ebony backgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jiyongkim-fw25) that make the sultry subject pop. Her [lean figure indicates impeccable fitness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legendary-capsule-collection), despite exuding little genuine effort. Regardless, the model strives to demonstrate a strength that's separate from physique. Strength in Style by Tom Munro demonstrates that confidence in yourself, as expressed through fashion, is more powerful than muscle.
