Styleaholics Blog Fashion Trends: The Return of Animal Prints (Snakeskin, Leopard, Python)
Absolutely! I’ve recently noticed the return of animal prints against both bold and bright colors; prints have included leopard, snakeskin, and python. What’s seems to be different this go around is the variety of apparel and accessories that has animal prints mixed into the design. Featured here is a great Jordan menswear bag, take note of the black n’ white leopard insert on the edge. A pair of powder blue Nike kicks featuring a black n’ blue snakeskin print in the majority of the sneaker. A leopard cardigan in the unusual color mix of maroon and black and finally these funky neon green python spandex pants–and they are belted!
Enjoy!

Najwa - I totally agree with your assessment on animal prints. I’d like to add one more thought to it: i recently came across a unique combination of style, wildlife, and conservationism (yea , who knew?) when I was introduced by a journalist who interviewed me to the creator of http://www.wild2watch.com. While Kevin Gebhard’s designs aren’t all on the mark (I love the totes and clutches but not so crazy on the shoulder bags) I think his concept could have legs. Notice they go beyond the traditional use of just the skin print of the animal. They engage you while remaining chic. Anyway, just wanted to point it out. Really enjoy your blog! Best, Jean
