After
attending shows, seeing new collections and ordering from the upcoming spring
lines, there was one trend that was apparent. You could say that it is
“stampeding” through the fashion world. You could say that it’s getting its “trunk”
into everything this spring (haha, okay enough with the puns). It’s the largest
living land animal and it is one of the most prominent motifs this upcoming
season. Yes, you’ve guessed it - THE ELEPHANT.
Animal motifs
often appear each season and this year we can’t get enough of the elephant.
Jewelry, scarves, tops, and dresses are just a few places you’ll see the
elephant “marching in” this spring (okay, I couldn’t help myself). This animal
may be big, but in the fashion world, its portrayal is elegant, refined, and
actually quite cute.
We’ve had
owls, mustaches, chevron, lions, the infinity sign, and various other creatures
and symbols - so why the elephant? Apart from its fashionable demeanor, there’s
actually a lot more to an elephant than meets the eye. Symbolically, elephants
depict virtues such as strength and honor. Elephants find families very
important and so they portray a great deal of loyalty. They’re also well known
for being very determined creatures. Some say that wearing an elephant is a
symbol of your determination to overcome any obstacle.
Here’s to
the elephant in the room!
