Wearing a leopard print is a bold gesture — see Edie Sedgwick [1] — but sometimes that's the intention. I love that we've been seeing leopard spots on the backs of celebs and on the runway; Valentino sure knows how to create a spotted masterpiece (middle). Does a leopard print coat stir up your animal instincts?
