‘bambi is dead’ by aleXsandro palombo images courtesy of aleXsandro palombo

we just received these illustrations by contemporary illustrator, aleXsandro palombo. entitled ‘bambi is dead’, the drawings are the latest in a series of recent social attacks against fashion brand fendi’s use of fur.

in a collection of satirical images, disney’s beloved bambi character is seen donning the iconic fendi motif and being hunted by a gun-trotting karl lagerfeld. portrayals of a fairy-tale-esque existence are altered by the villainous and sometimes bloody scenes which reference both ‘the day before’ and ‘the day after’ the slaughter. executed in a realism surrealism style, the series questions what luxury is, and states in a way, the extreme measures for which people are willing to obtain it.
