Reid Peppard
Yes, that is a guinea pig comb/head piece. It was created by Reid Peppard, a British taxidermist. Her pieces take animals commonly perceived as vile pests and turns them into fashion items. Peppard says, “…when they become sculptural headpieces, necklaces and cuff-links, the specimens cease to be waste and become objects to behold. RP/ENCORE makes use of the city’s leftovers.” Would you be comfortable wearing this stuff?

I’ve been looking for a rat clutch all year, how did you know?
um, sorry but no.
LIKE IT but….she should take better pictures of it
disgusting, stupid, tasteless.
I’m curious to know who’s buying this sort of thing.
This does not please me. I used to have a guinea pig. Also, I find it hard to believe that these animals were victims of road kill seeing as how they’re in nearly perfect condition.
i am appalled at this
this is disgusting and wrong.
omg Please tell me these animals weren’t killed to make ugly accessories.
What is wrong with this woman? That is so wrong!!! Who in their right mind would ever wear something like this? What kind of sick person would come up with this?! I’m severely disturbed… People are messed in the head!
and go figure, the chick who made this is a vegetarian. just a disgrace to vegetarians everywhere, hands down appauled.
not only are they bothersome as an idea, but they look poorly made, unattractive and boring. gertrude makes a good point about these accidental deaths leaving the animals in immaculate condition. suspicious.
my question is why no one has commented bout the misuse of the photoshop lense flare. I’m completely appalled by the treatment of filters in this “art”. But really I saw a a girl performing with her band that was wearing a real alligator head dress and I liked it. This, not so much but I just kinda prefer reptiles over rodents.
hahahahahahahahahahahaahah, i definitely didnt notice those stupid fake lense flares. like its being shot into direct sunlight, not down at a table.

I think that the rat clutch is brilliant. I, am who would buy it. Actually I was looking to buy one of Peppard’s pieces. If leather is ok, then so is the hilarious guinea pig hair comb and I LOVE the rat clutch.
Go ahead on girlie, however I won’t be the next in line to buy or wear. On the other hand animal skins, body parts, etc., have been used in fashion for years. i.e., Alligator shoes, belts, wallets, leather, wool, ivory, etc. Also people who like to hunt usually like to have the heads of things stuffed and mounted, which I find creepy. Just like the saying “Opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one.” To each his own.
These were living creatures and they do not deserve the humility of serving as mediums of your expression or profit. The fact that she didn’t kill them is irrelevant–she is making a parody of their forms without consent or dominion by using them as elements of design. It is an objectification to the absurd to assume that a complex creature has perpetual utility as a design object. Maybe her next project could use dead human fetuses, human parts residual from car accidents, or discarded mastectomy tissue?
whats wrong with you people? its pigeons and rats!! the lowest class of animals, plus she doesnt kill them they are already dead. If anything shes just recycling. Go REID!!
Joe,
You are truly a bad, ignorant man. I adore pigeons and rats. Reid is not recycling anything. Are you kidding me. She is just a greedy woman, desperate for attention. I am sure you believe in a human class system too. I decided to make my own class system and you are at the bottom. What goes around comes around. I wish you a miserable life.

There is evidently a lot for me to learn outside of my books. Thanks for the fantastic read,
I am sorry but , What has the world of art and fashion come to ..this is vile and disgusting attempt to be famous for shock value..
