Shopping: Leopard Spots

The fall collections had us seeing spots last March when Isabel Marant sent Erin Wasson down the runway in a leopard print mini dress and cropped black blazer. Just a few months later, Marant's faux leopard fur jacket—worn by Raquel Zimmermann in Paris— was sold-out as quickly as it was sent to stores. If you missed out on the first deliveries, not to worry—Topshop, Christopher Kane, Alexander Wang, and Christian Louboutin all offer killer leopard looks.

Linda Evangelista Poses for Artist Maurizio Cattelan in W Magazine
In a commission by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, PierPaolo Ferrari photographed Linda Evangelista for W magazine's annual art issues. Styled by Camilla Nickerson, Evangelista wears sweat-stained Rena Lange while backed into a corner, plays with chickens in Valentino Haute Couture, crawls through a cardboard wall on all fours in Carolina Herrera, and has a religious moment in Chanel.
In an interview with W's editors' blog, Evangelista said of the aforementioned chicken sitting, "We were working around the chickens, not me. The chickens go to sleep at dusk—so they said, 'If you don't hurry up, we're going to lose them!' There are moments in your life when you say, How did I get here? And it happened to me in that moment."
