The Dazed Magazine Flex editorial featuring model Helen Severin sheds light upon the beauty of body builders. While the sport is seldom seen in high end fashion productions, photographer Ben Toms focused in on high muscle mass and athletic positioning.
Stylist Mattias Karlsson highlighted the abs, legs and bulbous arms of Severin with much attention to detail. Although the well-oiled body parts stood out all on their own, Karlsson contributed to the set with bright orange vests, loose fitting turtle necks, athletic bomber jackets and metallic zip up pants. These pieces are each bold in their own right, showcasing Karlsson's talent as well as Dazed Magazine's willingness to go the extra mile during the Fall 2014 season.
