Animal print has been used by the Vivienne Westwood house for over four decades in bold, subversive interpretations. Leopard print was oversized and magnified in the Spring-Summer 1989 Civilizade collection and later found in bright red tones in Autumn-Winter 1992/93 Always On Camera. Vivienne famously enjoyed using the prints in any way other than how they are found in nature.

Hand-Painted Leopard has been entirely redrawn by hand in the Cole & Son studio, referencing a stylized leopard print with an organic sense of movement. The design has been printed using a screen-print technique to imbue a disruptive spirit and keep the hand of the artwork as faithful as possible.

Colourings offer an unexpected take on more traditional leopard print; in tones of Rose & Tangerine, Moss & Mauve, Sand & Violet, Grey & Metallic Silver, and Petrol & Teal to blur the line between abstract mark-making and the representation of fur.

Watered Silk is one of Cole & Son's oldest prints, dating back over a century. Produced using various techniques over the years, this latest incarnation incorporates the use of a fine mother of pearl printed ottoman texture to create a wonderfully soft shimmering silk moire effect. It is offered in lustrous colourings including silvered greys and heather, pearly whites, soft sages, and a delicate pink.
