Bear Suit Sidekicks

Popeye Magazine's 'The Town Where It Snows' Features an Unusual Co-Star

Popeye Magazine's 'The Town Where It Snows' is an unusual editorial in which model David Brunier dons wintry fashions in a mock winter setting alongside someone a giant bear costume. This fun pictorial was photographed by Junji Hata and styled by Tomoki Sukezane. Are extras dressed up as bears the next editorial must-haves? I hope not.
