LEOPARD PRINTS
Formerly rebellious, leopard prints have gone mainstream this
season. As Roberto Cavalli's signature print and the lining of many
a Dolce and Gabbana suit or shoe, animal prints are never in or out.
This Fall, hunting down the dots is made simple since designers
like Louis Vuitton, Anna Sui, Oscar de la Renta and Prada have
taken inspiration from Mr. Cavalli by featuring the exotic prints
in their prêt-à-porter collections. Disguise yourself as the second
most powerful feline in the world (after the jaguar) in audacious
fall furs or go for a more subtle approach with shoes or jewelry.
When worn with bright colors, leopard can (shockingly) serve as a
subtle background because of its neutral tan color and simple black
rosettes. It's no longer necessary to take a walk on the wild side
when indulging in the animal's spots.
