Dazed Sport

Model Jayla shot for DAZED utilizing her Rhythmic Gymnastics background for this special shoot! The shoot wanted to feature and combine flexibility and creativity. Rhythmic Gymnastics is a very beautiful yet extremely challenging and demanding sport. Athletes require to train 5-6 hrs daily 5-6days per week. Combining strength, agility, apparatus handling, dance and extreme flexibility. A very well known sport in eastern countries like Russia or Ukraine but yet to become a well known sport in the USA. Rhythmic Gymnastics falls under the Gymnastics umbrella along with artistic gymnastics, tumbling, trampoline and sports acro. Glad to have been able to showcase a small part of Rhythmic in this shoot for DAZED. Photographer: Erika Kamano Styling: Zara Mirkin
