Over 250 brightly painted life-size elephants will come to the capital this summer.
Set to be the largest outdoor art event ever, the elephants will pop up in parks, buildings and on street corners around London in a bid to raise £2 million to help save endangered Asian elephants.
Each elephant in the parade has been decorated by a different artist or celebrity with the likes of Alice Temperley, Cartier, DVF, John Rocha, Julian MacDonals, Lulu Guiness and Sir Paul Smith putting their creative talents to the test.
Set to brighten and beautify London designs include floral patterns, traditional Indian prints, a world atlas, jungle scene and my personal favourite-tiger print, some are even embellished with gold and swarovski crystals.
The Elephant Parade is a conservation campaign organised by charity-Elephant Family who are working to save the Asian elephant from extinction in the wild.
The parade runs from May-July 2010. Those who wise to own an elephant can bid for the favourite at an auction on 3 July.
