WRAPPED up in classy headscarves, these adorable pooches are the picture of sophistication. The three Afghan hounds, with their ears covered by the headscarves, are clad in an array of colours, from the bright pink of a beaded knitted scarf to the black of a sparkly wrap. The trio of distinguished dogs were photographed by photographer Julia Christe, after she was impressed by how human the dogs looked in their scarves. Julia had completed a magazine photoshoot with one of the female Afghan hounds, Face, when the dog’s owner put a headscarf on the pooch.
