Addressed: Actually, Animal Print Is a Neutral
Welcome to Addressed, a weekly column where we, ahem, address the joys (and tribulations!) of getting dressed. So far, we've unpacked how to wear shorts at the office and beyond, how to pack a carry-on bag for a work trip, how to dress with style in your third trimester, and even how to layer without looking like that chair in your room (you know the one). Download the Vogue app, and find our Style Advice section to submit your question. All summer long I've been feeling an inexplicable urge to wear animal print. Inexplicable because in my 41 years of life I can remember precisely one time that I've worn it (when I was about 11 I had a little suit with a short a-line cow print skirt and a black jacket with a cow print collar and buttons), but these days I can't see a leopard spot or a zebra stripe without it activating a kind of sartorial longing. A few weeks ago I interviewed Roberto Cavalli's Fausto Puglisi, and we talked about how animal prints are actually neutrals; it was kind of a tongue-in-cheek thing to say, but it also happens to be the truth. And now that it's Leo season (yes, I'm a Leo), it's the perfect time to dig deeper into the subject. Proof that animal print is indeed a neutral is the fact that it can almost always be found on the runway and in stores, a staple of both summer dressing (tiger print swimsuits!) and winter layering (the classic faux leopard coat). This means that no matter how you define your style—be it minimalist, retro, opulent, avant-garde, or anything in between, there's an animal print piece out there just for you. Here's a simple formula for making it work: If it's a zebra or cow print, pretend the item in question is black; if it's snakeprint, think of it as gray or beige, and if you're dealing with a leopard, cheetah, or tiger print, treat the item in question as if it were brown (aka a true neutral!). Snakeprint boots go with everything. Khaite, fall 2025 ready-to-wear Courtesy of Khaite Cheetah print pumps are an unexpected punctuation mark on a lady-like look. Bottega Veneta, resort 2025 Photo: Courtesy of Bottega Veneta Having established that, the easiest way to incorporate some animal print into your wardrobe is with footwear; a pair of classic pumps or more dramatic knee-high boots can instantly liven up a basic look or take something extravagant to the next level. A few years ago I impulse-bought a pair of Khaite pointy-toed zebra print boots and they've turned out to be a most important player in my wardrobe, especially in the dregs of winter when I begin hating sweaters and layering and just want to have some fun. As Kate Moss has proven time and time again, a faux leopard coat is basically a fail-proof style injection. It doesn't matter whether you're layering it over jeans or over tailoring, it will always look good. The same naturally goes for a leopard jacket (cropped or not, in a jacquard or denim), or even a blouse or button-down shirt. If a a leopard print jacket is a sure-bet, so is a leopard print blouse… Saint Laurent, fall 2025 ready-to-wear Photo: Alessandro Lucioni / …or a leopard print button-down shirt.

Yes, please! Duran Lantink, fall 2025 ready-to-wear Photo: Umberto Fratini / But the real fun—and this is the thing that I would like to experiment with this year—is a head-to-toe look. I'm talking about pairing tiger print separates like Martine Rose's jacket-and-jeans combo, wearing Phoebe Philo's absolutely insane fuzzy onesie and the matching cat hat, or an OTT shirt-and-jacket situation like the one Puglisi showed for his fall Roberto Cavalli collection. In the end it's no different than wearing a Canadian tuxedo or any other matching separates—you just have to commit to the bit, and walk with total confidence. Who's afraid of a little cheetah print? Not me!

Kim Kardashian and mum Kris Jenner star in wild new Skims x Roberto Cavalli swimwear ad
We'll have what Kris Jenner is wearing. The businesswoman is serving as a model in daughter Kim Kardashian's new Skims x Roberto Cavalli campaign for the brand's upcoming collaboration, with the pair modelling some wildly chic caftans rendered in the Italian fashion house's archival prints. In some images, Jenner, who has been in the spotlight for her youthful new look, courtesy of plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine, posed next to Kim, wearing a bold tiger number and a co-ordinating headscarf. A longtime fan of the breezy silhouette, the momager, 69, also rocked the collection's zebra style with a matching scarf wrapped around her head. Her third kaftan from the buzzy campaign was splashed with a vintage-inspired light blue floral motif. Jenner has accumulated a well-rounded collection of caftans over the years, from playful printed styles to chic black looks — all of which she notoriously brings out on her lavish vacations around the world. Kim — who herself poses in a variety of styles and a cropped, blonde wig — chatted with Vogue about how the partnership came to be. 'I was looking back through old vacation pictures, and so many of the pieces I wore were Cavalli,' she recalled. For Kardashian, a quick Instagram message to Roberto Cavalli's creative director, Fausto Puglisi, was all it took to make the partnership happen. She's previously collaborated with Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana, adding to the high-fashion list. 'I DM'd Fausto, 'Hey what do you think of this idea?'' Kardashian told the outlet. 'I was in heaven. Heaven!' the designer confessed to Vogue. In addition to the caftans modelled on Jenner, the limited-edition product assortment boasts swimwear and accessories in sizes XXS to 4X. The exclusive Skims and Roberto Cavalli collaboration will be available to shop on June 28 from both the US and Aussie sites.

Roberto Cavalli Resort 2026 Collection
Tyla and Carla Bruni have both worn Fausto Puglisi's fall 2025 collection for Roberto Cavalli in the last few weeks. Puglisi is a go-to designer for celebs on the paparazzi circuit, whether they're looking for something wild like Tyla's ultra-mini slip dress or something more restrained but still statement-making à la Bruni's bias-cut number. Yes, Puglisi's Cavalli is sometimes discreet—certainly more than the house founder's ever was. That's one way he's made the brand his own since he assumed the creative director role amidst the pandemic. Another way he's done that is to bring his own preoccupations to his Cavalli collections. This season, he revived the color-blocking that defined his earliest work for his eponymous label a dozen years ago. He said he was inspired to do so by a recent visit to Mexico City—the colorful buildings in the Condesa neighborhood, in particular, sparked his interest—and a catalogue from a 1994 Jeff Koons show at the Guggenheim that he stumbled across. 'When I started my own collection, I was in love with colors and geometrical patterns,' he said. 'It's not very Cavalli, but I just thought, the world is already complicated. Let's make a collection that people can understand easily—and bring a sense of happiness and joy.' Puglisi's color-blocking and Cavalli's animalier motifs came together on car coats and slip dresses—leopard spots enlivening vivid acid shades. He also played with florals, opting for more of an English garden bouquet vibe than the hothouse motifs that have long been associated with this label. Denim got a lot of attention too, it being an RC specialty. One pair of jeans was fused with leopard chiffon then put in the stone-washing machine for a look that Puglisi described as 'destroyed.' The piece most likely to spark joy is a floor-length floral print slip dress with denim corsetry details that laced up the spine: pretty in front, party in the back. His tailoring has also been getting a lot of play with celebrities. Jane Fonda wore a race car-red version of the elongating pantsuit that appears here in electric fuchsia jacquard.

Roberto Cavalli ignites Milan runway with fiery creations inspired by ancient Pompeii
MILAN (AP) — Fausto Puglisi offered a grand tour of Pompeii in his latest collection for Roberto Cavalli presented Thursday during Milan Fashion Week. The opening look of fiery devore velvet giving way to silver and gold beautifully represented the damage wrought by Vesuvius when it rained volcanic ash on the ancient city in 79 AD. The city's famed floral frescoes appeared on silky off-shoulder tunics and velvet minidresses, while ensembles were printed with faded marble patterns. 'I believe it is a magic place,'' said Puglisi, the brand's creative director. 'Through the eruption everything was destroyed but we are able to contemplate and admire the beauty of the Roman empire in Pompeii.''

The silhouettes advanced from no-nonsense denim and blouse daywear in saturated prints, to sexy animal print slip dresses worn with matching fake fur, and flowing evening gowns with molten lava prints. The fall-winter collection's outerwear included lush fake fur, ubiquitous on Milan runways this season, and luxe black leather trenches with smoky charcoal accents — perhaps smudges of the ancient city's ashes.
