Animal Instincts

It’s not hard for one to shy away from the unsubtle nature of the on again off again animal vigor. But this year we see designers from, Acne, Proenza Schouler, Richard Tisci for Givenchy, Phillip Lim and Current/Elliot all take new heights, dominating a zoological make over. Alber Elbaz for Lavin has even gone as far stating “welcome to the zoo” when describing his latest collection.

Animalism this season does not stop at perennial leopard prints, designers are looking towards the exotic safari with a mix of snake, zebra and even peacock feathers for the more fabulous. For a more low-key, high St dresser, there are distinctive separates to work in with vibrant accessories – as well as layering prints, which you can keep subtle and cool paired with your neutrals.
