Animal print - now it's getting wild!

The human need to adorn oneself with animal patterns is almost as old as mankind itself. Archaeological excavations prove that even the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans dressed in leopard skin to gain power and prestige. Only those who could conquer the proud animal were allowed to wear the fur. Through style icons like Jacky Kennedy, the animal print experienced a renaissance in the 1950s, which, however, had dire consequences for the population of these impressive predators. Christian Dior is still considered the first to separate the look from fur and create the animal print.

For 2019, whether it's zebra, tiger, leopard or snake - animal prints are now making their way into our wardrobes - but especially into our shoe wardrobes. Because this is no longer a wicked trend, but an absolute fashion basic. The animal print has already become a timeless classic thanks to the leo look, reflecting the elegance of these wild cats of prey, while the snake look has tended to stay in the background. All the more great that it can now finally get the attention it deserves. The luxurious snake pattern can nestle around your foot like a second skin in white, grey and soft rosé shades, making it a trusty style accessory you won't want to be without. Make your statement with these patterns. 

Whether in the office, in everyday life or at the next fashion show. With these shoes you are guaranteed to be the centre of attention! The good thing about animal print is that it can be combined quite easily and in a variety of ways, despite the eye-catching pattern. If you don't want to go all out with the animal look right away, start with basics in the form of subtle style breaks and more casual looks. Good combination possibilities definitely arise with leather or denim. In everyday life, you can also let the pattern shine anew again and again with small it-pieces.

Snake look lends elegance 

The summery boots by Maripé and Paul Green all have a cool reptile look. Whether in a cowboy look or as an ankle boot decorated with gold studs. With these models you can specifically emphasise your coolness and make a casual impression with style.

Even sneakers can keep up with animal print 

Pairs of casual sneakers from Paul Green, Maripé or Perlato score particularly well with their individual diversity. The discreet platform sole by Paul Green is totally popular this summer. The chunky sole by Maripé emphasises the sporty look and is an absolute must-have with its mix of materials! Just like the lightweight sneaker by Perlato! It convinces us with its chic combination of eye-catching red and snake pattern!

Classy, elegant and sexy - animal print pumps

The animal print on the pumps looks wild and strong. Just the right look for strong women. Peter Kaiser opts for a summery version with an ultra-modern queenie heel that will not only make you shine at the next garden party, but also make a great impression in the office. Paul Green opts for sexy high heels that will awaken the wildcat in you, while Perlato opts for understated elegance with its high-quality sacchetto design. The small heel makes the shoe an it-piece that you can wear every day without a guilty conscience.
