Leopard F/W 06.07

[Spike413]

Leopard spots popped up everywhere for fall. From coats and dresses, to bags and shoes. I think it's fair to say that leopard has definitly made another comback.

Looks really nice this time around.Not trashy like it use to.

Im starting to really grow into liking leopard print, but I think it looks best when it looks real and not fake looking.

leopard is not a trend... it's a way of life...

That Fendi B bag looks surprisingly cute in leopard.

I think designers really hit the mark with it this season. I'm not sure if they used it more tastefully or that it just looks fresh paired with the more sober blacks and greys but I really like it in general.

I usually don't like leopard print, but it was done very nicely this season. I agree, the B bag does look good in leopard print, wow!

True

I'm going to buy a nice leopard coat soon. I love leopard spots.

not a leopard person here, but yes the trend is huge both in menswear and womenswear..

my fave fw0607 takes are those from Prada, love the over printed texture of their leopard coats, the 'red' LV version is also quite 'fresh'

i like the marc jacobs approach, but generally i feel this look is quite tacky.

I think it really depends on how you wear it. I think it has to be just one item at a time, and the outfit has to be very simple (black preferably) otherwise. No gold jewellery or heavy perfume.

you actually make it sound quite nice! i just wanted to add that it looks much much better on older women in my opinion, you need a certain amount of elegance to be able to pull this off.

I really love leopard print.
I always thought it looked really cheap and tacky, but recently it's been done nicely.
I'm not waiting until fall though. I've just got myself a leopard print silk scarf and the cutest cami. My friend has leopard print ballet flats that I really want!

I really hated animal prints before, but it's growing on me... I've been very interrested in it lately, and thought of buying something with leopard print as soon as I'll get my paycheck!

I've thought about buying a long tank top/mini-mini dress with the print, but I don't know where to get it, and I don't want to wait untill winter. I want to wear leopard prints this summer! Something like this:

^I know that this is a tigerprint, but I would like a dress in this style either in leopard or tiger. It's so cool! B)

And I want some flats with the print too. They used to sell those in a store here last fall, but back at that time, I wasn't a fan of the print... Oh, and btw, some thights with the print too!

Thanks

I think it can look good on elegant older women, but the ones I'm used to seeing here fall under the 'too heavy perfume' category. But I can imagine old French women and old members of New York's socialite families doing this just right.

Holy Louis Vuitton! Those pieces are amazing.

Generally I think leopard looks quite tacky and cheap...but when it's done right it's amazing.
