In the autumn-winter season, the predatory print is again at the peak of popularity. The most famous fashion houses on world catwalks demonstrate leopard colors in their new clothing collections.
This is proved by the shows of Tom Ford, Bottega Veneta, Victoria Beckham and others. The spots of luxurious color of one of the most graceful predators - leopard - are freely located on dresses, skirts, trousers, bags and other components of the wardrobe. However, many fashionistas are afraid of the leopard print because of its “spoiled” reputation.
A few universal tips will help tame one of the most difficult trends of the coming season.
