Solemnly Announcing: Leopard Print —   no longer a sign of bad taste. In the new season, the leopard print is back in fashion. —   and this is just a hit of the coming autumn. We tell you how to choose a coat, dress and other clothes or shoes with a leopard print and where did it come from—   this dangerous, but such a captivating drawing in the color of the skin of a leopard. Rrr!

The history of the leopard print begins in primitive times, when among hunters it was considered especially valor to kill the leopard. After that, the victorious fighter put on the skin of an animal, which symbolized his new, higher status: it was believed that the strength, speed, courage and dexterity of the leopard together with his skin passed to the hunter. With the advent of commodity-money relations, there were many who wanted to get the skin of a leopard, without entering into a mortally dangerous battle with it. So leopard skins began to simply be bought or traded for other valuable goods, and the fur of this animal became a symbol of luxury, wealth, success and a privileged position in society.

Already in the Middle Ages, European monarchs adopted the passion of the ancient world for leopard skins and gladly decorated their robes with leopard fur. It was nothing but conspicuous consumption.—  kings simply demonstrated their status to a simple man who considered the leopard a semi-mythical demi-creature like a unicorn, and the feudal lords, who, of course, respected the disinterested knightly laws of honor and the system of vassal citizenship, but nevertheless they didn’t stop to hint for more support that the king has a lot—  lots and lots!-of money.

In the 20s of the twentieth century, the leopard again became fashionable: the era of jazz and unbridled parties, a premonition of an impending catastrophe, the first achievements of suffragists in the field of women's rights, the liberation of Puritan morality after the First World War and other events of this time made the thirst for exoticism one of key features of a typical roaring 20s representative. Of course, the beautiful— perhaps the most extravagant woman of the first half of the century. The frantic marquise, as her contemporaries called her, went to the promenade with two leopards on a leash. And here is how secular columnist Gabriel Louis Prangue describes her:

The door in the room where we sat and talked suddenly burst open and the dead woman entered. Her magnificent figure was tightly covered with a white satin dress with a long train, a bouquet of white orchids covered her chest. The fiery red hair emphasized the alabaster pallor of the face, which was completely devoured by two huge eyes; dilated coal-black pupils made an ominous contrast with bright scarlet lips, which seemed an open wound against the background of this pallor. In her arms a baby leopard perched.

In the next decade, the leopard print has become what is called a common place. Rich ladies wore real leopard fur, the rest wore rabbit fur dyed “leopard-like”. After the Second World Fashion. He returned to women a sense of celebration, extravaganza of femininity and exquisite beauty that were lost during the war years. After several years of devastation, outfits from the remnants of military fabric, old dresses sewn and “stockings” painted directly on the skin, leopard fur and print seemed to be riding an exalted taste. In the New Look collection, created in 1947, Dior brought to the catwalk fashion models in leopard coats.

Leopard coat immediately became a symbol of luxury—  such began to be worn by Catherine Deneuve, Bridget Bardot, Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor, Claudia Cardinale, Romy Schneider, Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick and other stars. She often appeared in a leopard coat, wearing it with small black dresses and low-heeled boats. And here is what Dior himself said about the leopard print:

Leopard clothes are suitable for those women whose appearance is very sophisticated. If you are bright and pretty, then you should not wear them.

Today, ideas about beauty have changed a lot. Leopard aerobatics show modern style icons—  , the former and most stylish British and. Note that their way of wearing a leopard print is very different from the style of cinema diva and sex bombs of the past. If Grace Kelly Wore a Leopard Turban Fur Coat, Elizabeth Tayor— with a lot of sparkling stones, jewelry and bright make-up, and Sophia Loren just focused on the aggressive sexuality of the figured Italian donna, today Eddie Sedgwick's kitsch approach and Jacqueline Kennedy's elegant minimalism look more relevant.

The style of Sajjwick was inherited by Alexa Chang and Kate Moss: this is a deliberately sloppy image, matted hair and imperfect makeup. The leopard print here plays a very ironic role: these girls do not try to look luxurious, they intentionally combine "high style"—  leopard coat or coat— low: plain t-shirts, rocker leather trousers, Cossacks, sneakers, jeans and vintage clothing.

Another variant -   minimalist classic inherited by the charming Karin Reutfeld from Jackie Kennedy. Both ladies in the 60s and today are happy to wear leopard fur coats and leopard print coats, complementing them with elegant skirts, miniature heels, black dresses, turtlenecks and classic handbags.

The main thing to understand is that the leopard print likes texture, but does not like color. If there is a lot of it, it will be more reliable to combine a leopard print with black, dark brown, chocolate colors. But at the same time, leather, silk, wool (volume knitting), velveteen, velvet will look good.

If you want to emphasize with a leopard print on accessories - shoes, a belt, a bag - you can add a little color. It can be red, white, orange, emerald green, mustard yellow, purple, violet, sapphire - deep, rich, noble “winter” colors that are often used in evening wardrobe.

In the collections of the new season, the leopard print appeared immediately and everywhere: Saint Laurent, Anna Sui, Dries Van Noten, Givenchy, Bottega Veneta and other brands presented leopard-colored clothes. Designers gave vent to imagination, offering to wear a leopard print with striped trouser suits, colorful ethnic dresses on the floor, club jackets and even white knitwear.
