It embraces a full [animal print ensemble](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lilly-reserve-collection) that is complemented by a matching rendition for the iconic branding. Starring model Lindsay Ellingson, the ELLE Brazil April 2014 cover shoot encourages women not to follow the crowd and instead follow their own instincts, perhaps even a few animal instincts.
