Leopard prints are no longer considered trashy and a bunch of greatest celebrity fashionistas themselves prove it. The animal inspired fabric is favoured by Kate Moss, Lily Cole, Mary-Kate Olsen and Alexa Chung.

Kate Moss has been rocking animal print outerwear for years wearing it to beat the English winter chill. She’s recently worn it with a black zip detail frock and a pair of pointed heels for dinner with her beau.

Mary-Kate Olsen was also snapped wrapped up in spots – she chose a sumptuous leopard print coat for the night at The Museum of Modern Art New York City.

How to wear leopard print coats? For the perfectly trendy wild look choose an animal trench or a fuller swing coat. Cropped or long, keep it chic and simple by pairing it with black jeans or a black dress. Team it with leather for a glam evening look.

The cover presents Moss as the eternal muse, who’s wearing (surprise surprise) a Marc Jacobs‘ metallic-lamé dress. Her artistic pose requires Justin’s help, her calves on the other hand are being embraced by Marc Jacobs himself. The other photoshoot photography shows Kate Moss lying on the sofa in Oscar de la Renta‘s evening dress with a tulle-and-silk train.

The article generally unveils “The Model as Muse” Costume Institute gala‘s idea, which Jacobs (honorary chair) and Timberlake (cochair) were to host at the Metropolitan Museum. Mark Jacobs made some memorable quotes on models’ style reffering to the idea of “The Model as Muse” name:

• “It isn’t Kate’s personal style that interests me. It’s her person; it’s the life and the spirit.”
• “Besides having a look or a style, these women [Linda, Christy, Naomi, Cindy, Claudia] have a lifestyle. If Naomi [Campbell] were very well behaved and always on time, and didn’t have her little tantrums, I don’t know that she’d still be around and traveling like Elizabeth Taylor with an entourage.”

Some Marc Jacobs‘ quotes on fashion:

• “Since watching the Golden Globes, I thought, There’s absolutely nothing more tedious than a long, strapless dress to the floor in a mermaid shape. I can’t bear it. It doesn’t look young, it doesn’t look glamorous—it’s just old. It’s become a generic experience.”
• “A collection is just that—a collection of thoughts, ideas, and experiences, trials and errors, editing and adding. It’s something that unfolds.”

Lauren Naylor and Toni Jones have praised Britney Spears for recovering from baldy to blond, of course with a ‘little’ help of warm blonde locks of hair extensions. And that’s true, luckily she got herself back on track, even in the terms of her head. I mean hair =P

Kate Moss has also impressed the reporters, chopping her hair and gaining a fringe. This was a result of a celebrity hairdresser’s advice – the hairdresser’s name is James Brown. IMHO she looks more mother-like and warmer with a new heavy fringe and her fair locks.

Surpringsly, the reporters snubbed Posh Pob‘s version copied by Eva Longoria. They advised her so as to stick with rather feminine dos, ‘looking less polished and more pretty’. I loved Eva’s Pob and wished to have the same myself, but apparently, not everyone likes it that much. They didn’t like Agyness Deyn‘s new crop either and called it too severe. Also, Avril Lavigne and Lilly Allen were slammed for experimenting with a pink dye and were called ‘washed out’. Looks like the only person who can go pink is…Pink herself!

Of course it’s not anything special to wear the PVC leggings and look like a slut but it’s a real coup to pair them with something glam and win the battle of the fashionista of the year. It has always been advised to wear PVCs along with high heels (for a glam look) or – less-typically – with a pair of flats for a more student’s look. Avoid wearing them with boots or people will call you dominatrix!
