Animal prints have not lost their place on the trend pedestal for several seasons in a row. Designers and creative directors of fashion brands showcase snakeskin jackets like Nicolas Cage’s in “Wild at Heart” and leopard print fur coats like Samantha Jones’ in “Sex and the City” on the catwalk. By the way, the latest model will be especially valid in the new season.

Of course, the leopard has already become a genre classic that exists outside of global trends. The boom began in 1925, when American actress Marian Nixon went for a walk in a gorgeous leopard fur coat and with a real leopard on a leash. And already in 1947, animal print appeared in Christian Dior’s collection. After a while, the leopard became an integral part of cinema. Remember the image of Marilyn Monroe in the movie “Men Prefer Blondes” or Kim Novak’s leopard print cape in the movie “Bell, Book and Candle”.
