Last summer, Sacha Goldberger decided he would take on a very interesting project. He assembled a team who helped him create an outdoor studio at Bois de Boulogne, a park located near Paris that's 2 1/2 times the size of New York's Central Park.

Wow, how cute is this campaign?

Under the tagline, "The True Fathers of Music," they dressed up babies into the exact outfits Axl Rose, Elvis and Gene Simmons would wear. Who's carrying these mini-me rock stars but the classic composers themselves! A nice reminder…
