The leopard print motif is enjoying popular attention right now, but it's not just a trend, it's a decades old classic that has "hot" revival moments now and then. Think back, depending on your age/era, to images of Loretta Young or Joan Crawford with a leopard scarf from the 50s. Think of Andy Warhol muse, Edie Sedgewick, in a leopard mini-dress or Jaqueline Onassis with a leopard scarf from the 60s. Faye Dunaway in a Leopard blouse in the 70s movie Network, or Diana Ross in a VOGUE magazine layout in leopard fashions. Picture Cindy Crawford or Joan Collins in Leopard prints. And remember Shania Twain's head to toe Leopard cape and gloves and shoes in her "That Don't Impress Me Much" music video?
