Bella Hadid And Doutzen Kroes Heat Up Arty Black and White Fashion Shoot

This one has dagger-licking, ropes and a giant swordfish.

Fashion photo shoots give models and photographers the opportunity to indulge in flights of whimsy, bridging the world of make believe and reality. Standouts include peak-period American Apparel, pushing up against boundaries with their risque shoots, Suitsupply recently delving into the idea of men as playthings by showing male models dwarfed by their female counterparts and LOVE Magazine unleashing a string of arty model videos. The latest buzzy entrant can be found in something called Double No. 31.

Tapping catwalk beauties like Bella Hadid, Doutzen Kroes and Mariacarla Boscono, famed fashion photogs Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott turned up the heat for some enjoyably oddball shots. Sure, we don’t quite understand what’s going on with the dagger licking, oversized swordfish and random workbench. But one thing we do know? We like it—we like it a lot.
