Animalier: fashion becomes “WILD”

The animal print (embroidery, application, fabrics, fur, etc.) is a constant in fashion; among designers there who has used and continues to do so as a feature of their style and aesthetic language, for example Roberto Cavalli, and who uses it by following some ‘the trend of the moment, or simply harmonizing their collection with this fantasy/pattern. In women there are those who love and those who hate it, no half measures. Personally I think it is interesting, certainly not as a “total look”, especially if you are not young anymore, but a piece animal or an accessory in that mood, can make an impression right and “aggressive” to those who do not want to give up style and elegance (see Kate Moss, Alexa Chung or Giovanna Battaglia).

or as the divine Kate…

The examples below show how the animal print is the protagonist in fashion for a long time,  and if it often was associated with vulgarity, aggressiveness, the kitsch, the photos prove the opposite.

You can also wear in a chic way, the rest in the collections of recent years designers have shown they can do very well. It is true that the animal patterns (leopard, python, crocodile, tiger or zebra etc.), are all strong pattern and definitely visible, but it is also true that wear them with jeans, with a coat a little vintage, a big bag day, as stole for a touch of glamour to an evening dress for an evening “diva”, it is fun and elegant.

I prepared mood boards with animalier clothes and accessories, expressing this texture in a different way. Every woman can choose what suits her best, or become a different woman every time.
