Fashion's latest obsession Cara Delevingne transforms into a couture clown-doll for the i-D Winter 2013 issue. However, this sophisticated spread is more 'Charlie Chaplin' than Bride of 'Chucky,' so those who haven't let go of their adolescent clown phobias can rest easy.

Delevigne was styled by Sarah Richardson in top hats, shrugs, double breasted suits and other 1920s-inspired garb. Her super teased blonde hairdo was provided by Diego Lima and Joshua Knight, while her pale face and dark bow-lip was done by NARS Cosmetics' Miranda Joyce.

This theatrical editorial is a lot of fun and may make you a little nostalgic for your circus-going days of cotton candy and juggling jesters. Delevingne once again proves herself to be a versatile talent in the fashion world with the clowntastic spread for i-D.
