Marcus Soder Curates Avant-Garde Animalistic Apparel

— June 30, 2009 — Fashion
The animalistic fashion curated by stylist Marcus Soder is breathtaking. The first two images are my favorites from this set; they feature an eye-popping combination of fur and feathers and an avant-garde take on tasseled flapper dresses, respectively.

We've covered a number of outrageous photography sets that prove the line between art and fashion is a blurred one. Check out some of my favorites below.
