What's this fashion combo taking over the streets and our Instagram feed? There's no escaping it. Indeed, in 2024, the leopard print and red combo are making a strong comeback, thanks to the designers of the moment. They’ve proven to be a perfect match, now adorning the season's most coveted pieces.
Leopard print and red: this season’s standout fashion combo Since its debut at Christian Dior ’s first runway show in 1947, leopard print has been a symbol of elegance, lasting through the decades while remaining as captivating as ever. Originally a rebellious symbol in countercultures like punk, it gained haute couture status in the '60s thanks to designers like Gianni Versace and Yves Saint Laurent . The 1990s and 2000s saw the rise of leopard print culture and would become a defining element of the era’s style.
Featured on the covers of tabloids: Princess Diana , the Spice Girls, Kate Moss , and Angelina Jolie boldly embraced the print on the streets. After a period of being overshadowed by more subdued trends, leopard print is now making big comeback. Fashion and nostalgia? On the cover of its August 1960 issue, American Vogue introduced this bold combination.
The daring pattern took center stage in an outfit highlighted with scarlet accents, a color rich in symbolism, representing everything from danger and passion to courage and love. Whether it's a trendy bag, a chic pair of ballet flats or slingbacks, sunglasses, or a subtle piece of jewelry , there are many ways to embrace this striking combo. Since perfecting this bold pairing can be challenging, Vogue France has curated a selection of outfits to give you inspiration.
