Using a real zebra -- or dinosaur -- as a prop in an editorial can be quite dangerous, which is perhaps why photographer Rafael Stahelin chose to use [blow-up versions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keff-joons) in the Myf Sheperd 'Superhelden' spread for L'Officiel NL.

This shoot for the magazine's October 2011 issue features the stunning model Myf Sheperd holding onto [inflatable creatures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer), including the afforementioned zebra and dinosaur, as well as a shark, Spiderman and SpongeBob SquarePants. An adorable photo series, the Myf Sheperd 'Superhelden' (which is German for "superhero") editorial showcases some stunning fall fashions from the likes of Mulberry and [Maison Martin Margiela](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela). Styles include a camel coat and trouser ensemble, a gorgeous red pencil skirt and matching stockings and a cozy navy fur jacket.

The Myf Sheperd 'Superhelden' shoot features styling by Ye Young Kim, makeup by Tyron Machhausen and hair by Fernando Torrent.
