In terms of fashionable allure, you wouldn't think fluffy animals and models would work for an editorial, but this gallery proves that it really does.
After looking at these images of 'animals' in the woods, from a 2008 editorial shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, I can’t get the Teddy Bear's Picnic song out of my head.
One of the things I love about these images is the way the leaves form a carpet that looks so perfect, adding a really cool detail.
