Trend Spotlight : Animals

     Babes, we all know trends come and go as we’ve seen them change as quickly as the seasons do. But luckily, some trends are forever, just like our favorite animal prints!

Although they’ve been around for decades (think chic leopard print coats of old Hollywood glamour), they’re still the hottest items of this season. Be it cheetah, tiger or zebra, you name it, brands got it. It’s safe to say they’ve gone completely wild this summer and we’re all here for it!

Animal prints were all over the runways this season – transforming the most coveted catwalks into real life jungles! From Dolce and Gabbana, Saint Laurent to Versace, all designers have come in full force to with this crowd favorite trend.
