How to wear prints like a fashion editor
LEGENDARY fashion editor of Harper’s Bazaar and Vogue magazines, Diana Vreeland, was famous for saying: “I’ve never met a leopard print I didn’t like”.
Fashion icon and Vogue editor Anna Wintour, synonymous with classic chic style, has inspired some of today’s biggest trends and helped propel animal print to new heights.
Animal prints are the sign of a true fashionista because they indicate you’re a wild, sexy and sophisticated woman.
Fashion journalist Gerry Cupido gives us her take on how to wear animal print:
■ Don’t be afraid to take a walk on the wild side. For an edgier take on animal prints, look out for bolder colours instead of the usual neutral tones. Acid colours are all the rage right now.
■ There’s nothing wrong with wearing animal print from head to toe, but not everyone is brave enough to do so. If you look to be more of a kitten than a lion, wear one animal print item and keep the rest of your outfit a solid colour – even if it’s just a pair of print heels or pumps.
■ Accessories are a great (and usually inexpensive) way to express the animal in you.
We’ve shopped online for the best selection of animal print dresses that will make you feel comfortable, cool and fearless.
Remember, there isn’t only one way to wear animal prints.
You can keep it subtle for dayto-day office wear, or be daring and wear animal prints head-to-toe and get everyone’s heads turning.
Do what you’re comfortable with, but feel free to play around.
