Predators and herbivores - giraffes and zebras, tigers and panthers - lent their characteristic bestial outfit to home furnishings, fabrics and fashionable things so that we can feel wild and free like the inhabitants of savannas

The modern passion for exotic - or, as is fashionable to speak French style, exoticism - is fundamentally different from the fashion for the total ethnics of the early 90s. Do not turn your home into a miniature copy of the ethnographic museum! If the leopard skin on the wall, a dozen African wooden sculptures and masks, mats on the walls and an aquarium with piranhas were part of the minimum ethnicity necessary, then now you can and should confine yourself to one (!) Thing of the bestial coloring. The same rule applies to fashion: it is better to support a leopard scarf with beige and brown shades in clothes than with a bag and shoes in a suit.

Fashion on the images and colors of wild animals, we, of course, are obliged to women. And in particular, two of them - Dolores del Rio, a Mexican American silent film star wearing the leopard's first hat and fur coat to highlight her exotic beauty, and the Frenchwoman Jeanne Toussaint, muse of Louis Cartier, to whom the world owes the appearance of the legendary panther CARTIER.

In the interior, animal suits are self-sufficient and, according to modern fashion for intellectual eclecticism, can be combined with completely neutral objects and high-tech materials that create an interesting counterpoint with natural colors and textures of hides and exotic prints.
