The How To Spend It June 2012 'Playful By The Rules' editorial showcases Lithuanian model Aiste-Regina Kliveckaite amid binoculars and a ballet beam. And if this wasn't bizarre enough for the London-based publication, Kliveckaite's [aristocratic apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alessandra-rich) also coincides with the same looks sported by Marie Antoinette.

The Victorian feel of Playful By The Rules is evinced here by way of high neck lines and wide-brimmed hem lines that seem to effortlessly jut out along the bottom half of Kliveckaite's figure. The [dramatic headpieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) displayed here further this historic theme as they are reminiscent of [vintage high society ensembles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bergdorf-soire). With the photography and styling both done on behalf of Damian Foxe, it logically follows the nostalgic focus of the entire photoshoot.
