The Modern Resurgence of Leopard Print
Now, let’s talk about the modern resurgence of this fabulous pattern. The popularity of leopard print tends to ebb and flow, and right now, we’re definitely on the upswing. According to Alexandra Van Houtte, the founder of the fashion search engine Tagwalk, leopard print is up a whopping 944 percent in collections this fall! Talk about making a statement!
Fun fact, Christian Dior is well-known for this iconic print. Back in 1947, he introduced a leopard sheath dress in his debut collection, inspired by his muse, Mitzah Bricard, who loved to wear a leopard-print scarf. How chic is that?
Currently now in 2024 this fierce print has taken over the runways again in designers like Alexander McQueen, Alaïa, Christian Dior, Isabel Marant, Versace, and Ganni. Also can be seen on trendsetters like Hailey Bieber, Zoë Kravitz, and Sofia Richie, who are showing us just how versatile leopard can be.
