Take for instance Ralph Lauren. His collection was covered in spots, from the shoes, to the bags, to the hats, to dresses and jackets. When you look at the detail shots all you see is close up after close up of leopard print on everything. He focused on other strong patterns too, but in this photo, on the two models you see hats, bag and shoes in animal print!

When I flip through this month's Vogue, Roberto Cavalli has an animal print inspired gown in an ad and throughout his fall show, there were garments with animal print trim. I think Cavalli was more inspired with the prints than Ralph Lauren because he was more inventive. With Ralph Lauren it was the same print over and over, no variation. Cavalli, on the other hand used variation and didn't show the same print in the same way twice I would love to flounce around in one of Cavalli's pieces.

Ralph Lauren and Roberto Cavalli were not the only two to feature animal prints, several other designers had a skirt here, a vest there and some other variations on animal print trim up their sleeves. It will be interesting to see how this pans out in the next few months. Plaids are another underdog trend that may pop a little this season. Ralph Lauren and House of Holland had plaid all over their collections for fall. I'll maybe comment more on that later.

I totally agree, animal prints are going to be big for the fall. But you have to be so carefuly how you wear it. You can very easily look trashy with too much or the wrong print. But, in my opinion, most of the prints for fall are on items that a classic which adds a sense of style to an other cheap idea. I JUST blogged on animal print handbags. I think that's the way I'll incorporate the trend into my wardrobe.
