I never thought that Karl Lagerfeld as a cat or Anna Wintour as a praying mantis would bring me so much joy, but boy, did Fashimals Tumblr prove me wrong. The concept behind Fashimals is simple: it takes some of the world's most prominent fashion figures, including Vogue editors Wintour and Carine Roitfeld, photographer Terry Richardson, designer Alber Elbaz and essentially every big name in the industry, and transforms them into animals.
Fashimals Tumblr takes the hair, wardrobe and accessories of some of the most prestigious fashion royalty and places them onto the bodies of animals for some hilarious results. Some of the most knee-slapping ones are Terry Richardson as a thumbs-up-giving gerbil, Anna Wintour as a hairless cat and Grace Coddington as a dove (red frizzy hair and all).
Fashimals Tumblr is a recently started photo blog that will hopefully continue to do great things and carry on to enjoy a fruitful future. It's certainly off to an incredible start.
