Animalia

Perhaps Gareth Pugh is more influential than we knew.

When the mischievous designer sent a latex bunny suit down the runway in 2006, even Anna Wintour started laughing - but by Fall, animal hoodies were showing up in unlikely places, including this shot of Sasha Pivovarova in British Vogue.

Not to be outdone, the stylists at Paris Vogue built Catherine McNeil a giant bunny hat for her June/ July cover that crosses Pugh’s wicked headgear with the Playboy mansion.

The hat seems like a perfect metaphor for Catherine McNeil herself, whose unabashed camera vamp straddles the line between sex bomb and fashion waif pretty well… which way she’ll tilt, we’ll probably see by the Fall…

that shot of sasha is originally from British Vogue - they did a large editorial in Russia with her. it was rather fab and unusual.

Jessica Louise has been doing extremely fun and cute though a little over the top zip-ups much like the one Sasha is wearing the center photo.
