Writing for The Wall Street Journal in 2013, Meenal Mistry had a good deal to say about the staying power of the leopard print:
"...there is also just something about leopard that never fails to drive women (and men), well, wild. Witness the many dyed-in-the-spot fanatics, like Bergdorf Goodman women's fashion director Linda Fargo, shoe designer Charlotte Dellal and stylist Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele. (You'd be hard-pressed to find such ardor when it comes to, say, florals or camouflage.) Ms. Dellal wore leopard pumps with her wedding dress, without giving it a second thought. 'I'm always obsessed. It's a classique!' said Ms. de Dudzeele, who treasures her leopard coats from Azzedine Alaďa, Prada and Junya Watanabe. 'It's like jeans and T-shirts.' ... It's the Meryl Streep of trends. It can suit a rock chick's rebellion; it can be hippie, high-end or hip-hop. Small wonder these spots stubbornly refuse to fade."
Well said. The rest of her article can be read here.
