LIKE A SNAKE: NEW SKIN, NEW PYTHON TREND
The snake, knowing himself, strikes suddenly – quotes a chinese proverb, but also one of the new fashion diktat. The python has invaded the runway and became a actual detail’s style for accessories of spring / summer 2012.
PYTHON OBSESSION is the name of Casadeishoes collection (freely inspired on the famous “Celebration of the Lizard” by the Doors) designed in a metal palette, but even in very bright shades like coral, yellow, blue, … Colorful, like patchwork clutch signed Emilio Pucci or python shopping bag ofProenza Schouler, the Chameleon by Fendi, the Justine of Jimmy Choo, the Amalia by Lanvin. For this last, Alber Elbaz varies on this trend , even in his much more natural shades for the bowling bag (inspired by Jeanne, the mythical founder of the French brand) and for the python pochette print on sophisticated silk.
As for the mythical jacket worn by Marlon Brando, in the movie“The Fugitive” of the ’50s with Anna Magnani,the trend seems to become a fetish of the season, paired with vintage details…
The Mary Jane shoes of Gucci, the limited edition vintage python handbags signed Miu Miu or the iconic straw bags, with python leather details by Dolce and Gabbana remind us that.
An influence that returns like fashion’s dynamics, but with a new twist: the bon ton allure witha touch of eccentricity … – “Get the look of the innocent flower but be the snake under it”-Shakespeare docet and fashion helps us to use it, as a trick.
Each new season brings the desire to transform us a bit, maybe changing ‘skin’… like a reptile.
I really love python =)

I love python! Python is to leather what chinchilla is to fur! There's nothing like a lovely bag or a lovely pair of shoes made of genuine python skin! I it so chic, glamourous, exquisite, and fabulous!
