If the old adage holds true that a leopard can’t changes its spots, then fashionistas everywhere are clapping their hands with glee as Fall’s hottest trend returns this season – leopard spots. Although it seems it never really went away, the hot leopard and cheetah print ensembles tearing down the Fall ’09 runway are as exciting and new to us as ever.

From a subtle tease on your feet like Roger Vivier’s easy-to-wear items, to the Louis Vuitton leopard scarf or even a sexy Dolce & Gabbana leopard clutch, designers everywhere have re-interpreted this classic wild element into different shapes, colors and forms.

You might want to keep this trend to a minimum at the office, but if you can’t get enough of those spots, get the very cool leopard rabbit fur coat by Joseph.

Alexander McQueen’s Houndstooth Pattern Bag

It’s houndstooth for Fall!

Alexander McQueen butterboom 362x394 custom Alexander McQueen’s Houndstooth Pattern Bag

As we all know, checks have been a huge trend this year but it seems that the houndstooth pattern coming down the Fall 2009 runway is going to be just as big. Designers are loving the distinctive black and white check which has a very dramatic look to it, with a classic twist having made significant appearances in the ‘40s, ‘60s and ‘80s.

Alexander McQueen is leading the field and seems to be barking mad for houndstooth with his latest collection! The Alexander McQueen Faithful Tote is made up of a series of traditional smaller patterns as well as some very large blown-up houndstooth wool patterns with patent leather trim at the edges. Definitely a gutsy creative decision with such mishmash patterns, the outcome is actually quite successful – a bag that is anything but ordinary and will make you stand out this Fall.
