Lions and Tigers and Bears - Oh My!

There is no doubt that animal print and animal fur is luxurious and beautiful ... when it's on the animal!


Needless to say I am completely against using real fur for fashion, but I don't really understand the faux fur or animal print obsession.  I mean surely we have gone way past the point where we need to wear animal skins for necessity, last time I looked, there were no wild buffalo running through my front garden.   


Maybe it's our way of showing dominance over animals?  Hey you, Mr Giraffe, I may not kill you today, but this Giraffe print bag is just to let you know that I can OK, so you just watch yourself mister!




Animal preservation aside, let's talk about fashion.  I am yet to see someone who looks good in animal print.  If you're under 25 it looks like a costume or that you borrowed a dress from Alexis Colby, and if you're over 25, well you look ... old!








There are so many beautiful fabrics and prints available, so I say we leave the animal print to the animal and we can all live happily ever after.
