Leopard print

Leopard print or animal print is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur of an animal such as a Leopard, Cheetah, Zebra, Tiger, Spotted Hyena, Striped Hyena, African Wild Dog, Giraffe or monkey. Animal print is also used for handbags and footwear and even some jewelry. A major difference between animal prints and fur clothing is that animal prints today very often use fake fur instead of animal coat.

Animal prints have long been a popular style for many reasons. For one, they are generally expensive and considered rather exotic; hence they are a symbol of wealth and status. Throughout history, kings and other high people have used animal print rugs and such as a sign of status just as mounted animals are kept as trophies.Animal print became popular for women in the United States in the late 1960s during the Bohemian movement.

The Just Cavalli Autumn/Winter 2012-2013 collection introduces an active attitude that gives the line a contemporary spirit: lightweight fabrics and animalier print, signature features of the Just Cavalli style are merged with the strong details of sportswear, creating a linear and dynamic silhouette.

"Prints, a signature of the Maison Cavalli since its beginning, are geometric and reworked in animalier print: pied de poule prints inspired by jaguar skin, trompe l'oeil print created with images of knots, chevron printed fur, or lace-trimmed floral, jaguar and optical prints that recall zebra skin."
