Designer Alber Elbaz, who normally shows his Lanvin collections in Paris, trekked it state-side to give US editors and retailers a little taste of what will be in for fall this year. Elbaz wanted the Lanvin Pre-Fall 2010 collection to stand out. The abundant use of fur and leopard print was meant to counter boring, grey standard daytime outfits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 8% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Animal Print Apparel:** Designing fashion collections with animal prints as a main theme could attract more consumers. - **Eco-friendly Alternatives:** Introducing eco-friendly alternative materials to replace animal fur in fashion collections could attract more environment conscious customers. - **Timeless Fashion:** Reviving classic patterns such as leopard prints, can help generate renewed interest in classic fashion designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can capitalize on the resurgence of animal prints in their design collections. - **Textile:** The textile industry can innovate by introducing alternative fabrics that resembles animal prints but are cruelty-free. - **Retail:** Retail industry can target animal print trend enthusiasts by featuring the latest animal print fashion collections in their stores. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cult Film-Inspired High Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-lion-king-collection.md) - [On-the-Road Fashion Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-prefall-2023.md) - [Politically-Inspired Runway Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selkies-the-libertine-collection.md) - [Outdoor-Ready Luxurious Fashion Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-3.md) - [Retrospective Chic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prefall-2026-collection.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [New Year-Themed Luxury Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-tiger.md) - [Luxe Tailored Fall Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-fall-2026.md) - [Contemporary Fall-Centric Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latimmier.md)
