It looks like it might be about time for traditional animal prints, like leopard and snake print, to move over... or should that be mooooove over? And for that pun you are most certainly welcome! Snake print can be seen as quite racy, a little risque perhaps. Leopard print unleashes your daring side and as for cow print...well let's figure this one out together shall we? The 'western revival' trend was huge in 2018, with cowboy boots becoming a wardrobe staple and suede jackets a seasonal must (Coach, Chloe and Dior for reference). But it seems the fashion world was not content with it's foray into the world of the American West, so it's goodbye to the desert hues / earthy browns and hello to a whole load of cowhides.
Cowhides have long been used in interior design, conjuring up in my mind palatial Texan estates with cowhide rugs against an exposed brick wall - straight off the screen of a luxe Airbnb listing. But this season this trend crossed over into apparel and accessories, with cowhide prints popping up on the runway. The boldest looks were classic black/white cow prints, but for something a little more sophisticated it was a colour combo of brown/white. One wouldn't typically think of cowhides as being 'sophisticated', but Victoria Beckham managed to translate this print onto beautifully tailored silk dresses and skirts - it worked like a charm and the result was an elegant collection of Spring pieces. Who knew that bovine could be tres chic?
