Grazia France's 'Disney Story' editorial brings classic Disney characters to life, from adorable woodland critters (Bambi) to malicious, puppy-hunting villains (Cruella de Vil).
Model Kamila Filipcikova transforms into all your favorites. In one shot, she becomes a couture-version of everyone's favorite puppet, Pinnochio (for those of you who didn't have a childhood), posing with slackened body language and lifeless eyes. In another shot, she coyly gazes into the camera outfitted in Mini Mouse's signature ears and polka-dots, a chain-link Chanel purse slung over her shoulder almost as an after thought. Finally, Filipcikova does her best Alice in Wonderland impression with blue-tinged hair, knee-high socks and a voluminous blue frock, courtesy of several cleverly positioned balloons.
The creative team responsible for the couture-ifying of these iconic characters consisted of fashion editor Stephanie Brissay, hair stylist Leslie Thibaud, make-up artist Jean-Charles Perrier and photographer Christian Anwander.
