Entitled 'Mushroom Magic', the Romance Was Born Spring/Summer 2014 collection catalog embodies a psychedelic visual aesthetic. Taking inspiration from the idea of vivid hallucinations and dreams, this electric hued and theatrical lookbook features collaged and distorted imagery of its model stars Ruby-Jean and Holly Rosemary.
The label's designer duo Luke Sales and Anna Plunkett brought their 'psychedelic Disney picnic' concept to life with the help of visionary artist
Tanya Schultz who collaborated with the pair.
The Romance Was Born Spring/Summer 2014 lookbook experiments with colorfully collaged imagery that is synonymous with the label's wild and youthful aesthetic. Blurring the lines between fashion and illustration, this conceptual catalog defies tradition with each of its portraits' ability to stand alone as a memorable art piece.
