Animalier?!
Ecco una delle tante prints che, oserei dire, sono state buggerate dalla moda contemporanea creandone degenerazioni catastrofiche.
Se pensiamo al maculato non possiamo non ricadere nei classici luoghi comuni che delineano personalità aggressive, provocanti, appariscenti e diciamocelo un po' volgari;
ma questa stampa nasconde aspetti troppo spesso non considerati...
Il leopardato si affermà nel mondo della moda alla fine degli anni Venti grazie a dive americane del calibro di Marian Nixon e Josephine Baker, la quale era giunta a possedere persino un leopardo da compagnia chiamato Chiquita.
Per circa 15 anni animalier fu sinonimo di leopardato proposto prevalentemente su pellicce e capispalla.
Ma la vera rivoluzione nel mondo del maculato fu realizzata dal genio creativo di Christian Dior, il quale nella sua collezione P/E 1947 propose l'animalier sia come stampa grafica su abiti da giorno in chiffon (vera innovazione nel fashion district) che come pelliccia per polsini, colli e bordature. Con Dior il maculato ebbe una nuova vita... divenuto simbolo di classe e ricercatezza contornò le più eleganti e sofisticate donne del secolo. Da Brigitte Bardot a Catherine Deneuve, e come scordare la divina Audrey Hepburn nel film "Sciarada" del 1963 con indosso un cappello di Givenchy maculato abbinato ad un lineare cappottino rosso!
Sono gli anni '60 a determinare l'apice dell'animalier nel mondo dell'alta moda, date uno sguardo alla collezione Valentino Couture 1966, è questa cià che amo definire: eleganza assoluta!
Dagli anni '80/'90 stilisti come Gianni Versace e Roberto Cavalli, quest'ultimo divenuto il magnate di questa print, hanno riproposto l'animalier nella sua dimensione più seducente e femminile; è una donna grintosa, sicura di se, camaleontica quella che scaturisce dalle passerelle degli stilisti contemporanei.
Il leopardato è uno dei MUST HAVE del prossimo autunno/inverno 2013-2014, difficile da indossare ma con i giusti accorgimenti potrete essere impeccabili...
Posteremo a breve alcune idee per rendere il vostro animalier look di gran classe!!!

Animalier?!
This is one of the prints that, i dare to say, have been damaged from the contemporary fashion... Thinking at the spotted we can't fall down in the classic fallacies that describe aggresive, glaring and vulgar characters.
But this print hides characteristics often not considered...
The leopard print asserts oneself in fashion's world at the end of the Twenties thanks to American celebrities like Marian Nixon and Josephine Baker, that has a companion leopard named Chiquita.

But the real revolution was realized by the creative genius of Christian Dior that in his collection S/S 1947 introduced the animalier both as graphic printing on chiffon dresses that as fur for cuffs, collars and necklines. With Dior the spotted had a new life... became symbol of style and preciousness it encircles the most elegant and sophisticated women of the century. From Brigitte Bardot to Catherine Deneuve, and how we can forget the celestial Audrie Hepburn in "Sciarada" film (1963) wearing a spotted Givenchy hat matched to a linear red coat.
The Sixties are the years that established the peak of the animalier, take a look to the collection Valentino Couture 1966, that is what i love to define unconditioned elegance. From years '80/'90 designers as Gianni Versace and Roberto Cavalli, the last became the tycoon of this print, have proposed the animalier in his aspect most seductive and feminine; bold and self-assured is the woman that comes out from the catwalks of the contemporary designers.
