Fashion design students Laura Salazar and Paula David, with the help of photographer Juan Erasmo, sure know how to make taxidermy look sexy. I was never a huge fan of preserving dead animals, but if all taxidermists looked like this woman, consider me sold.
I am still a little creeped out by these photos. It may have something to do with all the dead animals lying around, or the fact that the model seems to not care. Either way, Laura Salazar and Paula David--the brains behind the concept, the clothes and styling--along with Juan Erasmo, have successfully brought me over to team taxidermy.
