Topiary elephants, fashion and a crucial cause

A small list of my favorite things (in no order at all): 

1. fashion

2. wild animals

3. topiaries

All of the above can be found in a very different fashion show on in the U.K. and Ireland right now. Thirteen full-size topiary elephants will tour the nations to raise awareness about the plight of the Indian elephant, which is "intelligent, engaging...but endangered," according to show organizer Elephant Family. In support, designers such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Alberta Ferretti and Alice Temperley have dressed the green beauties in wraps. I am especially feeling the hot pink tassels on the Calvin Klein number.
