Illustrated animal-skin costumes created for Le Bestiaire exhibition in Paris
Giant illustrated boards depicting parrots, bears and leopards are among the oversized animal costumes that children can try on at a Paris exhibition.
The animals, both real and imaginary, were created by a team of 14Â artists and designers including designer Ionna Vautrin, who also curated the exhibition, and illustrator Malika Favre.

The costumes resemble oversized tunics that slip over the shoulders and each skin includes a circular cut-out section for the face.
"Taking the form of a collection of costumes, this bestiary gives children the chance to slip into the skin of all kinds of animals, from the very tame to the very wild," said Vautrin.
