Black, white and leopard! A short stroll through the city centre and you know what’s up; the leopard print has become the new neutral. And if you look at how some of the biggest brands have worked the print into their fall collection you’re even surprised it took this long for the wilde print to hit the mass market. Christian Dior had it coming when he first introduced the print and this fall we’re following his lead big time. Was the print quite subtle before, this season it’s statement making and in your face. So a leopard printed coat might just be your best bet. At least Bottega Veneta, Dior (who else), Givenchy, Isabel Marant, Margiela, Moschino and Prada are going for it. Also, you can’t go wrong with animalistic touches on a dress (Saint Laurent), a jacket (Sonia Rykiel) or accessories like a stole (Dries van Noten). Just take a walk on the wild side and get rid of the idea that leopard prints are tacky or outrageous. They’re just so basic right now.
