FASHION FORECAST | 07.02.2023

Not a lion, no way! Zebra is the king of all fashion!

The jungle may even have its own rules... But, when the subject is a hot trend, Vizzano brings you up to date with designs in the most fashionista pattern of the moment

 

If in the Chinese horoscope, this is the year of the rabbit, in fashion 2023 'everything is dominated'... by the zebra! A consolidated bet on animal print aesthetics, the most famous stripes of the season are the current obsession of fashion girls. One could say that this fun and versatile print is the new jaguar, becoming that 'bubblegum' trend that is catching on in everything: clothes - even in complete lines of bed, table, and bath -, shoes, accessories, décor, and wherever else your imagination allows! The order is to wear the power lines both in the classic version, in black and white, and the other way around, taking a ride on the coolest vibe in vibrant shades such as pink and mint. The customer is the boss!

 

The authentic outline of the animal from South and Central Africa, has already crossed the main catwalks around the world, and now reigns as the most stylish of the savannah in many different closets! It is a fact to say that the pattern has gained a trump card status, proving to compose monochromatic looks or just as a focal point, but always bringing one and the same result: non-obvious looks with a fierce attitude! Just visualize it, want to see it? Tank top + zebra tailoring pants, is it a match? Yes! Can a monochromatic ensemble of shorts and a full zebra print kimono be out of style? No way! Is a multicolored midi dress in zebra print exaggerated? Never, this is the clearest definition of a maxi trend, #VizzanoLovers! In other words, breathtaking dress code with zero effort!

 

By the way, this is one of those respectful and very revered comebacks. After all, it remains among the most reproduced looks for decades! It is worth remembering that the animal print revolution is a product of the 20th century, specifically the 1930s, inspired by one of the couples, let's say a very primitive one, but with a refined aesthetic sense, it seems. It is Tarzan and Jane, we mean, their respective costumes in the movie Tarzan, who revealed the African reference with a focus on leopard print.

 

It's all about the zebra!

There are those who associate the animal print movement with extravagant, gaudy, and disturbing looks, but a team of women ahead of their time managed to pluralize this aesthetic to the most different profiles. Take this idea: Jacqueline Kennedy's compositions imprinted a refined mood. The combinations worn by Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot showed grace while the printed dresses - and tight to the bodies - of Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe overflowed sex appeal. Wow, at the peak of the 1960s, they unleashed their beasts and popularized those animals.

 

Since then, zebra print fabrics have only multiplied and are a real fever among celebrities, targets of the Copy and Paste style, such as Sabrina Sato, Rita Carreira, Jade Picon, Ivete Sangalo, and, of course, our gorgeous poster girl Giovanna Antonelli, who knows like no one else how to make an impact with an accentuated look in bold plus. With an eye on the declared desires of its audience, Vizzano developed a so much special line to crown one of the most followed timeless fads, just like a soap opera!

 

The protagonists of this time are the pumps, praising tradition with a contemporary touch (very modern, indeed! The euphemism is worth it). The loafer - highlighting the tractor sole, one of the hits of the season -, the mule, and the sandal with sculptural heel and glam appearance received a styling highly praised by the addition of strategic straps in rhinestones. And the statement piece comes in the design of the it bag, in a baguette shape with straps also in rhinestones and an urban chic finish by the knots, one on each side of the strap. And then, the zebra, right?!
