Carine Roitfeld: The Animal Nursery

For her latest installment of "Carine On The Collections" for Harper's Bazaar, Carine Roitfeld created a wildly engaging editorial, "The Animal Nursery," with models Senait Gidey, Tilda Lindstam, Soo Joo Park, Irina Shayk, and Kate Upton posing as caretakers for tiger cubs, baby monkeys, and leopard cubs on safari. Of course the world's cutest veterinary nurses are dressed in garments from the Pre-Fall collections, accessorized smartly with shining stethoscopes, pert caps, and elbow-length surgical gloves. Notice the flasks and first aid kits, these women are prepared for any emergency in their enchanting animal nursery. Carine shared her excitement about the project with The Cut, "The shoot was a dream come true because I had never held a baby monkey and baby tigers before… Kate was so incredible, very cool. She was the most relaxed out of all the girls with the animals. You can tell she feels very connected to nature. I was very surprised how wholesome she is." Carine worked with creative director Stephen Gan and photographer Sebastian Faena to produce "The Animal Nursery."
