Feline is Forever
Just look at the runways at China Fashion Week SS ’10. I encountered this young lady in the subway on the way to the Qi Gang show, where big cats were in evidence. But this was not the only show immersing spectators in themes from the jungle and Beijingers these days seem never to get enough leopard scarves, flats, bags, neckties and jackets. Is leopard “classic” now like blue and white stripes or gray herringbone?
Notice that this is one of the first times that I have broken my usual rule of steering clear of those with brand names visible. Yes, I am a member of that snobbish and reactionary anti-logo crew. They should be paying her to carry a bag that is an advertisement in itself.

I hope it will be.^^
And yes, the bag is a plain ad. It bothers me, too.
No, Nels, you are not alone…
The leopard print, the shoes and the hair, along with the natural legs say something…
But the branding on the bag… lets it all down.
Logos let down any ensemble… every time…
I think she looks great. Her particular LV adds something to her je ne sais quoi,
it’s an accessory rather than a shouting detractor.
What I really admire, though, and noticed before anything else, is how she can wear those mules with tights and not lose her footwear along the way.
Really, really liking your blog!
