Mulberry's beastly photo campaign

Wp-Content Uploads 2012 07 Mg 1087

UK fashion house Mulberry's latest campaign is a forest fairytale shot by famed British fashion photog and Vogue mainstay Tim Walker. The photos are fantastic but I hope those wild things run like hell given that Mulberry's autumn/winter line is all about the fur. (via SuperPunch)

“Ahh! Look out, on the other side of the tree! It’s a woman in a fur coat!“

What kind of animal did that fur come from? My first guess was Sasquatch, but maybe mastodon or muskox?

  A transparent attempt to co-opt the “cavepunk” movement in either case.

    There’s a cavepunk movement? How cool is that? At this rate, we’ll shortly have a dinosaurpunk fad, shortly followed by a big-ass-plant-punk craze, and the one I’m really looking forward to, primordialgoopunk. The nothing-grows-here-it’s-as-boring-as-mars scene is going to be a bit tedious though.
    
    Right, I’m off to find some bones and fake fur and stuff, gte dressed up, and see if I can make fire by rubbing two iphones together.

I dunno – dressed like _that_ walking in the forest where there are Wild Things behind the trees? She’s just _asking_ to be the victim of a wild rumpus, if you know what I mean… And I hear the Wild Things are pretty into back-door action.

  Yep. These ads are definitely pushing the bestiality agenda.

It appears to me that the model uses the nearby trees to prop up the bodies for further bloodcurdling effect when the authorities arrive.

I love how they never actually mention ‘Where the Wild Things Are’

They blue creature hides behind behind a tree because it doesn’t want to become the next fashion victim, right?

The photo has a lot in common with this drawing by the guy who made the cool Futurama creatures.
