Hare Racing Story

Rabbit on the Run

So what if you like to show a little skin (damnit, you’ve worked for it).

But those hound dogs chase you down the street like a bunny on a mad dash.

Is it a coincidence that you’re wearing something from Rabbit on the Run?

We think not. The tail-wagging first collection from NYC-based French artist Julie Thevenot comprises big, simple cuts in natural materials like silk and organic cotton.

Navajo patterns, bold graphics of mustaches, and hyper-colored prints dominate the line. (Thevenot, who got her diploma from the Arts Decoratifs, has a background in graphic design.) The cheeky motifs and fine fabrication reflect the label’s independent, spontaneous, and defiant personality.

All of which add to the thrill of the chase.

Available at Reed Space, 151 Orchard Street, between Rivington and Stanton Streets (212-253-0588); online at pixiemarket.com. For more information, go to rabbitontherun.com.
