This season, creative types are wild about animal prints. The trend was on display at Michigan Design Center’s Celebrations event in September.
“In a complementary color palette, a small amount of unmatched animal print can go a long way,” say designers Kim Abbott and Kristen Catto Armstrong.
Adds designer David Mark Weiss: “The trick is to be careful using them. Like almost anything else in design, too much of a good thing can backfire on you.”
