The Leopard-Print Midi Skirt Is the Summer Trend That Won’t Die

You’ve seen it on Instagram, the racks of your favorite department store and your morning commute. The silky, sultry leopard-print midi skirt is everywhere these days and has become a seemingly tailor-made wardrobe staple for “hot girl summer,” Megan Thee Stallion’s seasonal mantra of unabashed self-confidence.

The trend’s origins have been widely attributed to the online retailer Réalisation Par, which released its Naomi skirt, a bronze silk knee-length slip pelted with the animal’s print, in March 2018.

Its initial popularity was driven by influencers in New York and Los Angeles who had ascribed little-black-dress status to the skirt. Now there are innumerable copycats, from influencer-bait labels including Ganni and Reformation, as well as fast-fashion brands like Zara, Topshop and Forever 21. The skirt even inspired an anthropomorphic Instagram account, @leopardmidiskirt, which features photographs of women doing activities like balancing a beer can on their butt or taking a bathroom selfie while wearing the skirt.

Teale Talbot, a founder of Réalisation Par, believes that the skirt’s appeal can be pinned down to its “versatility”: It’s sexy, but not too sexy for work, and looks good on everyone. “It suits all body shapes, and because it’s made from silk and drapes just beautifully,” Ms. Talbot wrote in an email. While she admits that the brand didn’t “invent” the leopard print skirt, she said she and her co-founder, Alexandra Spencer, “nailed the fabric, print and silhouette in a certain way that made it very wearable and caught people’s attention.”

Réalisation Par was definitely onto something. For New York Fashion Week in February 2018, Tom Ford, Diane von Furstenberg and Victoria Beckham all pulled together a menagerie of leopard-print apparel. Sarah Tam, the chief merchant officer at Rent the Runway, remembers the animal-print trend percolating in December 2017 and going into “full force” by February. According to her, it was “perfect timing” when Réalisation Par introduced its skirt in March because the brand invested in leopard print fur coats, blouses, pants and skirts before its release.

While Rent the Runway doesn’t carry the Réalisation Par design, it currently stocks about a dozen styles of leopard-printed skirt from brands like Moon River and Sanctuary. “This spring, we increased our stock over 700 percent of animal prints — our leopard print skirt — in particular, is being utilized 40 percent higher than our normal skirt,” Ms. Tam said in a phone interview. In terms of sales and rentals, the leopard-print skirt became the company’s most sought-after animal-printed item for spring 2019.

Marshal Cohen, the chief industry adviser for the NPD Group, a market research firm, hasn’t seen leopard print at the forefront of fashion in over a decade, but he said that currently “the luxury market is looking for a way to capitalize on animal print and make it more their own.” He added that when luxury puts a trend on the runway and in-stores, it’s something that the lower end of the market can copy quickly.

“Adding the element of silk keeps it on the higher end for the consumer,” Mr. Cohen said. “That’s the thing you won’t see a lot of the lower-end market run towards, and that’s how they separate themselves these days.”

That also fits in with the history of leopard print, said Emma McClendon, the associate curator of costume at the Museum at F.I.T. and of the forthcoming exhibit “Power Mode.” The print, she said, has long represented “a connection between power, wealth and a certain type of ostentatious showiness.”

She believes the history of leopard print can be traced back to the robe à la française from the 18th century, which featured an elaborate brocade of leopard print motif along with florals. But also noted two key moments from the 20th century: in 1962, when Jackie Kennedy was photographed with John F. Kennedy sporting a leopard-print coat from Oleg Cassini, and upon the release of “The Graduate,” in 1967, when Mrs. Robinson (Anne Bancroft) donned a leopard-print lingerie set which “positioned leopard print as not only powerful but extremely sexual as well.”

“When we’re talking about a body, particularly a female body, sheathed in leopard print, that is something that immediately can bring up a very strong reaction with people along the axes of power, sex and taste,” Ms. McClendon said.

Maybe we should be calling it “cat-girl summer.”

Karim Rashid

Karim Rashid. Diseñador industrial y de interiores.

Karim Rashid (1960, El Cairo, Egipto) es un diseñador industrial y diseñador de interiores de origen egipcio.

Karim Rashid es uno de los diseñadores más prolíficos de su generación, ha trabajado en más de 40 países, tiene más de 3000 diseños en producción y más de 300 premios.

Sus diseños incluyen artículos de lujo, mobiliario, iluminación, diseño de exteriores, identidad de marca y embalaje.

Sus diseños galardonados incluyen productos de lujo para Christofle, Veuve Clicquot y Alessi; productos democráticos para Umbra, Bobble y 3M; muebles para Bonaldo y Vondom; iluminación para Artemide y FontanaArte; productos de alta tecnología para Asus y Samsung; diseño de superficies para Marburg y Abet Laminati; identidad de marca para Citibank y Sony Ericsson, y embalajes para Method, Paris Baguette, Kenzo, y Hugo Boss.

La revista Time lo ha descrito como el “diseñador industrial más famoso de toda América“.

Karim Rashid nació en la ciudad de El Cairo de un padre egipcio y una madre inglesa. Nació con el cordón umbilical envuelto alrededor de su cuello, y en su infancia tuvo retrasos en el desarrollo y un impedimento en el habla.

La familia emigró a Canadá donde se crió y asistió a la escuela secundaria en Mimico (Toronto). Hoy en día es un ciudadano estadounidense.

Rashid se licenció en Diseño Industrial en 1982 por la Universidad Carleton de Ottawa (Canadá).

Realizó estudios de diseño de posgrado en Nápoles (Italia) con Ettore Sottsass y otros diseñadores, para más tarde trasladarse a Milán durante un año para trabajar en el Estudio de Rodolfo Bonetto.

Después de este año en Italia, Karim Rashid pasó a trabajar con KAN Diseñadores Industriales en Canadá y allí, entre 1985 y 1991, cofundó y diseñó la Babel Fashion Collection y North. En 1992 Rashid abrió su Estudio de diseño en Nueva York.

Los diseños de Karim incluyen el bote de basura Garbo; la silla Oh para la compañía Umbra; una tienda para Giorgio Armani; tapas de registro para las alcantarillas de Nueva York; botellas de perfume para Kenzo; botellas de agua para Bobble; relojes y vajillas para Alessi; iluminación para Artemide y productos para Veuve Clicquot.

Su trabajo, de curvas sensuales y colores brillantes, es fácilmente reconocible y ha sido varias veces descrito (por el propio Rashid) como “minimalismo sensual” y “blobjects“.

Karim Rashid ha sido seleccionado recientemente para diseñar varios desarrollos inmobiliarios para un grupo de inversionistas internacionales HAP Investments en la ciudad de Nueva York.

En 2016, se anunció que Rashid está diseñando la renovación multimillonaria del Temptation Resort and Spa, en Cancún (México).

En su tiempo libre, Karim coquetea con el arte, la moda y la música. Sus obras de arte se exponen en galerías por todo el mundo, y tiene piezas en 20 colecciones permanentes entre las que se encuentra el MoMA de Nueva York; el Centre Pompidou de París, y el SFMOMA de San Francisco.

Posee doctorados con honores del Ontario College of Art & Design (Canadá); el Pratt Institute de Nueva York, y el Corcoran College of Art & Design de Washington (DC).

Karim es invitado frecuentemente para dar conferencias en universidades de todo el mundo para hablar de la importancia del diseño en la vida cotidiana; y ha aparecido en revistas como Time; Vogue; Esquire; GQ, y Wallpaper entre otras muchas.

La última monografía de Karim, XX Design Media Publishing (2015) cuenta con 400 páginas de trabajos seleccionados de los últimos 20 años.

Rashid ha ganado premios como el George Nelson Award en 1999, o el premio al Diseñador Canadiense del Año en el 2001.

En el 2012, el fabricante y diseñador danés BoConcept colaboró con Rashid para crear la colección Ottawa, que ganó el Red Dot Design Award de ese año 2012.

Su personal estilo se extiende más allá del diseño de producto a interiores como el restaurante Morimoto (Filadelfia); el Hotel Semiramis (Atenas); Nhow hotel (Berlín); Universita Metro Station (Nápoles), así como el diseño de exposiciones para Deutsche Bank y Audi.

En cuanto a su vida personal, Karim estuvo casado con la diseñadora digital Megan Lang, pero la pareja se divorció. Posteriormente Rashid se casó con Ivana Rashid en el año 2008, y juntos han tenido una niña llamada Kiva Rashid.

Rashid es hermano del famoso arquitecto Hani Rashid, de Asymptote. Karim es muy conocido por usar ropa completamente blanca o rosada.
