Take a walk on the wild side with this exotic, summer style.
Many trends come and go, but the animal print has been a mainstay for decades. Whether making subtle appearances some seasons or dominating the catwalk others, this rebellious print comes in many variations ranging from traditional, natural prints to experimental, daring designs.
Hercules Universal's Fashion Editor, Jon Morales: "It is a trend that is always present over time and at the same time it is one of the most seasonless... a must-have in everyone's closet!"
No matter the style, the animal print is not for the faint of heart and sure to make heads turn. For a more “toned down” look, it can be worn as a statement piece, or for those willing to go “all-out” it can be worn from head to toe for extra impact. Tiger, zebra, leopard, or snake prints - you name it, there is a print for everyone.
Hercules Universal's Fashion Editor, Jon Morales tells SVD, “From my point of view, animal print has two indisputable concepts: "never-ending", since it is a trend that is always present over time and at the same time it is one of the most seasonless, ... a must-have in everyone's closet!
On the other hand, it is an "always-matching" print, since you can introduce it in any of your looks, from the simplest to the most extreme, from the most street vibe to the greatest of classics; in block, with other prints, etc, everything matches with animal print, much more than you can imagine!
We keep seeing it in many fashion houses such as Saint Laurent, the new Celine, Dior Men and new trendy labels like Casablanca.”
For this season, designers like Needles, Neighborhood and Whiz Limited have taken the animal print to new terrains creating their own fierce interpretations playing with color, mixing patterns and more in some of the most unexpected ways.
