Lasting Leopard

Leopard print was introduced to fashion from way before the camera was invented. People viewed leopards as fierce and extremely determined. The print originally came from the actual fur of the leopard in forms of body coverings. People who wore leopard print were seen as the same (fierce and determined). Women began wearing the print around the 70s to establish their feminine power and all it meant to be a woman. Today we see leopard print as showy yet classy. Staying true to itself, the leopard print will continue to model a life of resilience and fierceness. To learn more about the leopard print and what it has meant throughout history.
