Sultry in its sacrilegious nature, the Arizona Muse Freja Beha Erichsen Vogue UK editorial is enticing for more than just the photographs. Following fruitful rumors of a romantic relationship between Muse and Erichsen, the salacious shoot does little to contradict the speculation.
Beha Erichsen also serves as the magazine's September 2011 cover girl in a gorgeous solo shot. Lensed by the famously controversial Mario Testino for the September 2011 edition, the shoot is the newest addition to a series of spreads that feature the models. The two were captured in some sensual embraces by Terry Richardson just last month and featured together in two different Karl Lagerfeld-lensed editorials.
