While most brands are going for an aquatic theme this season, Bebe takes us on a wild safari trip in their Summer 2009 Catalogue.

The Bebe Summer 2009 [Safari Catalogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-redondo) features model Diana Moldovan captured by photographer Giuliano Bekor with wild animals including elephants, zebras, leopards, lions, and more.

**Implications** - The appeal behind the use of [animals in fashion campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/animal-intelligence) ties back to the basic, biological urge to be sexy that is essentially the basis of the fashion industry. When one speaks of [animal urges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-aspen), they are referring to unabashed sexuality or violence. This kind of raw sensuality is what drives the fashion industry, making animals and fashion a perfect pair.
