wool of dog? alternative to fur coats
Doumé Jalat-Dehen makes wool out of dog hair and then her customers make sweaters from the dog wool. Photographer Erwan Fichou went to visit her that gave him the names and addresses of some of her clients. Erwan then set off across France and Belgium to meet them and take their pictures.

Unlike every other toy catalog, the Toy-Toy catalog doesn’t conform to rigid gender stereotypes about what boys like and what girls like, instead showing boys having fun with kitchen play-sets and girls having fun with toy guns… ;)
