After taking a good look at the Ruadh DeLone 'Verminders' portfolio, I've come to realize that [kids and pets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kids-collection) have something in common (bear with me, I'm going somewhere with this). They both look irresistibly cute in costumes of any sort--even if worn with sad, miserable little faces.

I'm sure, however, that the Ruadh DeLone 'Verminders' portfolio was not envisioned with that observation in mind. Instead, the Netherlands-based photographer simply latched onto a great [Victorian concept](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-fw25) and executed it amazingly.
