Zebra Crossing
The animal print that somehow became a neutral.
Zebra has somehow crossed the line from statement print to near-neutral, which is exactly why it feels so good right now. The best pieces aren’t treating it like the loudest thing in the outfit anymore; they’re using it almost like a graphic stripe, just with more attitude. Ahluwalia’s reworked denim skirt makes the print feel casual and easy, while Anonymous Copenhagen’s zebra calf-suede shoes take a more polished route without losing the punch. Elsewhere, the print gets much more dramatic. Because of Alice turns zebra into full eveningwear with a satin corset gown, while Lamarque’s sheer trench makes it feel light enough to layer rather than costume-y. Simon Miller’s haircalf boots and SERPUI’s striped tote prove the easiest way in might still be through accessories: one slightly ridiculous zebra piece has a remarkable ability to wake up an otherwise sensible outfit. That’s really the appeal now. Zebra no longer needs to be the whole point. It can be the skirt with a white tank, the shoe with jeans, the bag thrown onto an outfit that was getting dangerously close to boring. Apparently if you wear something wild for long enough, fashion eventually decides it’s a basic.
