The leopard coat, an outerwear staple of fashion icons and influencers, emerges as a key item this season in a variety of iterations. Updated silhouettes include oversized duffels, trim trenches, and patchwork furs, while classic tailored versions are still relevant. Additional newness comes from exaggerated proportions and stylized motifs, some featuring colorful overdyes or pattern mix.
Teddy bear fleece warms up Pre-Fall and Fall runways, and not just for coats. Plush pile fabrics are right for all markets, whether for a chic cream-colored topper for the classic customer, contemporary bomber jackets edged in striped rib-knit trims, or junior-friendly sweatshirts. The fleece also is used for facing and trims for the season’s must-have big plaids, for the all-important shearling look.
