Announced dead a few months ago, this garish print still appeals to fashionistas.
He has defied the predictions of trend forecasters on numerous occasions. It has already existed and resisted in the fashion landscape for two years, to the great surprise of those who saw it dying because of its kitsch side. Queens of style, fashionistas have remained clinging to it without ever letting go, proudly displaying it on every possible item in their wardrobe: tops, bags, shoes, and even umbrellas. Celebrities are still addicted to it too. On November 3, Queen Victoria of Sweden wore a dress from the brand Malinaenhanced with the famous print in sequin version. This week on InstagramDua Lipa punctuated her total denim outfit with a touch of this same pattern on her pumps. And this fall-winter, it still makes the rays roar, proudly taunting those who predicted its disappearance. According to the data analyst @databutmakeitfashionleopard print is making a resounding breakthrough in the modosphere: it recorded an increase in interest of 34% last week alone.
Little wonder when we know that the last Spring-Summer 2025 fashion shows, having taken place in September, have once again given it a spotlight: from New York to Paris, we saw it at Dolce and Gabbana, Vivienne Westwood or even Celine. Far from brooding, the leopard is still on the rise this season. However, it was far from being won: its popularity has continued to fluctuate in recent months, often downwards. In the animal world, we have even found thunderous replacements, such as the tiger print or the zebra pattern.
But nothing helps: the popularity of leopard remains unrivaled… and this is reflected in all ready-to-wear brands – from clothes to shoes. The latter continue to offer pieces decorated with this garish pattern. Just at Mango, he still takes over entire collections: cardigans, pants, coats.
