While the fashion featured in the Beliv Lapin D’Ete catalog are classic enough, the catalog itself sets an entirely different tone. As though the model was caught between the real world and Toontown, which was made famous in the movie 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit,' her outfit is half sketched. Set against a brown backdrop that matches the color of the drawn-in portion of the fashion, the Beliv Lapin D’Ete lookbook appears even more artistic.
The collaborative result of recent fashion graduates Emilia Tudoran and Iulia Ghenea, the Beliv Lapin D’Ete collection was created in Bucharest, Romania. The designers describe the line as "a retro collection for the summer with clean cuts, a classic design and a bipolar personality."
