Leopard Print–Always Classic–Ever New

Fashion Trend Impressions from Nena Ivon

The allure of animal prints, especially our spotted friends, has been with us for what seems like forever…actually the trend began in the movies of the 1940’s and has really never stopped. A classic that can be ready-to-wear or all manner of accessories but, please, never head to toe!

Here are some of my favorite finds…

Leopard Print–Always Classic–Ever New

Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, a must see!

Leopard Print–Always Classic–Ever New

Probably 1960’s but to my mind’s eye timeless and gorgeous!

Leopard Print–Always Classic–Ever New

The 1940’s broad shoulder, seen again in the 1980’s and on trend in 2018.

Leopard Print–Always Classic–Ever New

I’m obsessed with these pieces both make sense today and beyond and, of course, love the finish of the gloves. I bet you can find similar looks at Randolph Street Market! I have often added to my glove collection there.

And speaking of Randolph Street Market, I found this jacket of perfection, in so many ways, at the August Market. You never know what you will find, mad for this piece!

Leopard Print–Always Classic–Ever New

From Debbie Harry in another then and now trend, the jumpsuit, to Lady Gaga (who is receiving rave reviews in the fourth version of A Star Is Born) to the omnipresent, Kim Kardashian….all spotted, pun intended, in this perfect of prints.

Our exquisite inspiration… much better to live in its natural habitat and survive in all its glory while we celebrates its beauty in print!

“An avid gardener, composter, and recycler; assuring that my design footprint is as nominal as possible is so important to me. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night otherwise! Being able to upcycle, share a beautiful object knowing it has likely already had a life of love, is a very fulfilling experience. If only these treasures could talk.... It would be fascinating to hear their stories. Until then, I am just happy to keep them out of landfills and in our beautiful spaces.” - Brianne Bishop, Brianne Bishop Design 🌟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“At Randolph Street Market, I have found some incredible artwork, especially hand drawings and block prints, as well as some awesome African sculptures. I have placed the pieces in my home, and styled them into the homes of my clients. I once bought a chair from the 70s in gold velvet. I had it reupholstered in zebra skin and installed it at a client's home and it was a huge success — original, unique and very chic.”​​​​​​​​
