Animals, and leopards in particular, prove to be a great source of inspiration for fashion editorials these days.

Dazed & Confused magazine pays homage to these sexy creatures with the editorial “R” by photographer Ellen von Unwerth in their April 2009 issue.

“R” features model Skye Stracke wearing [leopard-print lingerie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skims-1), posing next to a leopard (fake and not stuffed, I hope), with a background and blanket that sport [leopard prints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ducies-fw25-collection).

It doesn’t get more leopard-y than this!
