Belleau and Dr. Teresa Summers, also an LSU AgCenter human ecology professor, have directed the development of various garments as student projects. The model is LSU student Jacquelyn LaCroix, a senior apparel design student. The halter top front and jacket trim are made entirely of American alligator in a soft brown. The top lining, jacket and skirt are made of faux suede in electric blue. This research project is featured in the winter 2001 issue of Louisiana Agriculture magazine, published by the LSU AgCenter.
