A Leopard Print Q&A with Alice

Share

Over the last two decades, leopard print has transcended seasonal trends and been integrated into various collections, from dresses and coats to tops and even suits for this Autumn Winter. Leopard print has also played a central role in our collaborations with Loci, Heidi Klein, and Romo. The versatility of leopard print—its ability to evoke boldness, luxury, and timeless appeal— makes it a go-to pattern for Alice.

Would you tell us about your evident love of leopard print? 

'Growing up on a farm in Somerset, for me leopard print was exotic. It symbolised glamour and the allure of something other worldly. Icons like Marlene Dietrich in film noir, Anouska, or Venetian Marquise Luisa Casati, all with their heady elegance and timeless style.'

When did you first start using leopard print in your collections?

'Leopard has always been a staple for us, often mixed with florals in prints, jacquard knits and weaves. It’s a versatile pattern which I see as a neutral.'

How did the print make it into the Autumn Winter 24 collection? 

'We’ve incorporated classic animal patterns throughout our collections, with leopard prints woven into our knits and featured on the luxurious Italian jacquard crepe for our more fluid dresses. Our standout three-piece Nemera suit is made with a beautiful Italian printed velvet.'

Any favourite leopard print items in your wardrobe or home?

'A  beautiful printed YSL mac.. and our recent Nemera velvet suit.'

'My home also showcases the leopard printed flocked velvet wallcovering, Mimi, in the bathroom, and my two oversized sofas and bed, both upholstered in the exquisite Mimi velvet fabric from our Romo x Temperley collaboration.'

A consistent thread that weaves through the world of Temperley, leopard print is indeed the soul of the brand. Discover the latest iterations of the motif in our Interiors and in the the Metamorphosis collection. A must have for Alice, these playful spots appear throughout her wardrobe, her home, and even her open top Mercedes R107.
