The Fashion Magazine 'Track & Heeled' editorial explores the idea of a sporty glamazon. Although some usual suspects are detectable including football padding and soccer socks, they are styled in such a way that the model looks more like a futuristic warrior than a contemporary athlete.
Lensed by photographer Chris Nicholls, who also happened to capture actress Cobie Smulders who appears on the cover of the April 2014 issue of the Canadian publication, the Fashion Magazine 'Track & Heeled' editorial stars model Kristen M. Shot in studio, the brunette beauty is a juxtaposition of masculinity and femininity with the help of fashion editor Zeina Esmail. She pulled pieces from Marni, Gucci, Prada and more.
