Miu Miu has never been one to shy away from animal prints, and the Spring 2011 show featured more than one example where Ms. Miuccia gazed upon the world's menagerie for inspiration. This swan dress was my favorite.
I used to not be so down with animal images on clothing. Not animals prints, like leopard, which is awesome, but actual images of animals. I thought it looked really juvenile, and something I really loathe is when adults dress like children. I likened it to wearing rainbow knee socks and carrying Hello Kitty lunchboxes. But then I had a change of heart. Basically, designs with animals got better and I quit being so uptight. Win-win, yes?

Calivintage recently posted this vintage koala bear sweater that she's had for some time. She also hinted at a treasure trove of other animal sweaters she has stashed away. I'd sure love to see more of them!
And finally, here's the sweater that inspired this post, one you've no doubt seen already. I haven't shopped at Urban Outfitters in years, but when Peter Jensen's capsule collection for the you-oh drops later this December, I will make the effort to check it out. At least if this doesn't sell through instantly, which it probably will.
I sure am optimistic when it comes to bunny sweaters, yes?
