Leopard print 'reigns'

Leopard prints are like a "legendary breath" of the fashion industry. They not only bring delicate beauty but also last until now.

History of leopard print

Leopard skins have always been the most luxurious items hunted by skilled hunters in many wild jungles. They are seen as a way to affirm their professional status. Anyone who owns a leopard skin can easily receive admiration from everyone for their courage and strength.

They often appeared only with the nobility of the time. Typically, the ancient Egyptian princess Nefertiabet in a portrait with a noble leopard skin outfit.

In the 17th century, leopard prints began to be introduced to the fashion capital of Paris with unique designs attached to collars or long coats. They began to create a fever in the fashion world at that time when they were supported by many French women.

It was not until the 1940s and 1950s that this outfit really exploded in the fashion world when it was transformed by world fashion houses to become more unique. That is why at that time, leopard skin outfits appeared with women every time they appeared on the street.

After the war, the talented designer Christian Dior began to write a new page in the history of the fashion industry, when he used his ornate thinking to create many leopard coats with different designs, giving women elegance and luxury without losing their femininity.

The return to the runway

After a while, leopard prints gradually became outdated and were replaced by more youthful, colorful trends.

It wasn’t until 2000 that fashion houses like Dolce & Gabbana, Robert Cavalli and Saint Laurent continued to “revive” them with more modern variations to suit everyone’s tastes. The resurgence of this trend was likened by fashionistas to the “era of leopard print”.

Although fashion is a cycle of memories and each season presents a new way of thinking, this pattern has not lost its popularity. This fall and winter, it continues to appear on the runways of many prestigious brands such as Diana Vreeland, Dolce & Gabbana, Michael Kors and Etro, in a wild image expressing the power of modern women through sophisticated dresses and stylish coats.

In addition to appearing on the catwalk or in fashion photoshoots of famous fashion houses, leopard prints are also mixed & matched by fashionistas with stylish outfits when appearing on the street.

Not only does this trend bring novelty, it also helps women become elegant, expressing a feminist image.

Many fashion trends will be quickly forgotten after a season, but leopard prints are different, they will always become "legends" of world fashion like the classic Burberry coat or Chanel's little black dress.

Leopard print would not have exploded so strongly without being promoted by fashionistas around the world.
