Vamping pachyderms

From Style.com:

Fashion should be fun. And what's more fun than an elephant in a dress?

Are they serious?
Yes, they really are. You can even buy the t-shirt!

(excerpt) Elephants are few and far between in fashion circles - too big, gray, and wrinkly to run with such a polished crowd. But industry insiders love a new idea, and elephants in couture - a concept that animal-loving photographer Bruce Weber approached W Creative Director Dennis Freedman with - is as novel as notions come. So, in the middle of preparing their spring collections, 11 designers whipped up plus-size clothes for a trio of vamping pachyderms.

Amazingly, a portion of the proceeds benefits an elephant conservation group. Well there you go. You can even see the photos. I recommend the one with the elephants in manolo blahniks.
