The Beetle Bailey collection drew the largest crowds at the project show. Darren Romanelli, of the streetwear brand DRx, said the idea of infusing Beetle Bailey into fashion blended both professional curiosity and personal reminiscence.

Given the breadth and reach of Americana-inspired looks, Romanelli said it made sense to incorporate Beetle Bailey into his new collection.
