Animal print fashion
Overview
Vogue Magazine at Vogue.co.uk carries a large feature called Animal Magnetism to explain the trend on the Autumn 2010 catwalks to animal print clothes.
This 'big cat' trend has now found its way into major stores and, as always, fashion is most easily afforded by accessorising with bags and shoes.
For the summer, attractive black and white variations on zebra print clothing look very fresh. The warm golden patterns of leopard print clothing serve in winter or summer.
Animal skin trends
Crocodile skin, python or lizard are textured effects in plastic-based handbag material that are a historical echo of the time when real animal skin was used to make UK bags and shoes.
Leopard and zebra prints reflect a history of African influence on fashion, as do faux fur creations.
