The perfect leopard jacket: it exists!
Do you love leopard print? “As far as I’m concerned, leopard it a neutral,” says Jenna Lyons, creative director at J.Crew and I can see how she could get to that point of view.
I on the other hand have never owned anything leopard print. Not even undies. Nada. So how did I end up with this beauty in my wardrobe?
I fell down a Pinterest hole that’s how! Surfing the net one night, vino in hand, I spied the eternally chic Giovanna Battaglia Englebert (say that three times fast) in a leopard print coat. She had styled it in her typically eccentric way with envious accessories and a light switched on in my head. Could I, a humble fashionista from Melbourne wear leopard a lá Giovanna?
Only one way to find out, and so this Velvet by Graham and Spencer number from Shopbop.com was added to cart.
It’s still rather new so unlike Giovanna, I’ve not had a chance to play dress ups as yet but rest assured this won’t be the last you see of this glorious jacket!
