Creature Feature: R29 Spots an Animalistic Trend

By Max Berlinger

Let's face it. It's a jungle out there, and we're not the only ones to take note. Designers are looking to our furry and feathered friends for inspiration this autumn. As we've reported, animals have made their mark on jewelry, and we've seen an influx of graphic face T's, and now we're noticing a blending of trends with clothing and accessories with animal mugs plastered all over them. These pieces are not only adorable and quirky, they're PETA (and Kate Winslet) friendly nods to critters large and small. Who needs a trip to the zoo when the wild kingdom has taken the fashion world by storm?
