I'm a woman posessed with leopard eyes at the moment. In a gradual year long period, I've gone from tentatively wearing leopard print tights to forthrightly declaring my LOVE for the stuff on the condition that it's bright, garish, a bit pronounced/cartoon-like, pop-coloured and not resembling an actual leopard. I must say, the tide of change did probably begin when that sweeping coloured leopard print finale at the Lanvin S/S 09 show nearly made me stand up and give Alber a standing ovation (I think Alex from SHOWstudio DID go the whole hog and stand up...). Ever since then, it's been a case of being drawn to leopard print that adheres to the criteria above... meaning a lot of stroking in Dover Street Market of Christopher Kane's cardi, very nearly fisting over the money for the Peter Jensen Chanel-esque jacket that's been featured all over the place and finding my own cheap alternatives...

The clothing equivalent of a "I'm so happy I found you leopard" sentiment has also manifested in this Markus Lupfer for Topshop jumper that will be in stores in July. Snap the jumper up and I might have reconciled the differences between me and leopard print and we will run away together happily towards a sunset...
