The Numero France Like A Bird editorial displays model Carmen Kass in the most avian of manners. Kass takes on the persona and look of the air bound animals as she stood next to the fowl, becoming one with the props with the help of stylist Franck Benhamou.
Benhamou dressed Kass in opulent fur jackets, pleated leather tribal dresses and large feathered vests. Accessories also abounded the Like A Bird set via crowns, lace face coverings and elongated gloves.
Photographer Dusan Reljin tied these elements together with an aggressive black and white finish, giving off a rather romantic vibe in spite of the unusual motifs. He also made excellent use of the rope-bound swing as he captured Kass' back and forth motions.
