Design Description
The untold leopard Is a concept with meaning representing the untold story of many animals affected by poaching, exploited by big fashion brands and then worn by people who are unaware of the dirty truth behind their gorgeous fur coats or the animal skin carpets they stand on. The lack of material on most of my body represents the lack of proactive coating an animal has and feels, to put into lighter terms while their fur was stripped off them. Sometimes we see ourselves as superior beings and claim the position of oppressors forgetting that deep down we all started off feral and naked.
