Reid Peppard's Taxidermy Accessories

Only in London could we find taxidermy and couture in the same sentence. London based designer Reid Peppard and the RP/Encore studio presented the 'PARK' collection this past week - a hybrid of accessories and London's best road kill. Mainly foxes, crows and squirrels. This LA native is a certified taxidermist and a committee member of the UK guild of Taxidermists. Now that's bloody impressive. If your slightly squeamish about the animals, Peppard has a selection of casted fine metal pieces alongside the cadavers. Exact casts of claws, hearts, tongues and more are presented in sterling silver and
gold plated silver.

I'm hopping down to meet Reid and see these pieces up close. I'm so excited. Is it weird I want to touch the mouse head cufflinks?
