Jungle Janes,

This year’s spring/summer designers have gone back to their roots by having ethnic and tribal culture teamed with fresh greens and thick browns to create another trend alert urban jungle!

I have to say that the safari trend has been on the streets for quite some time but this year’s fashion shows have been a bit more creative however never staying too far away from those luxurious chocolate browns and camel colours. Our safari Jane’s are now more sophisticated and cultural in 2011.

Instead of the safari jackets and button up shirt dresses, safari has gone a bit more wilder and taking on more of an animal influence, leopard print and snakeskin have been given there rights back of being sexy and fun. Not everything is so earthy but still gives that natural look.

This season's safari is taking an entirely different angle, using more natural fabrics and textures. I adore Stella McCartney's take on the modern safari, be incorporating rope belts with simnple cut shorts which gives them such a more appealing look.

Safari now has a more desirable status than before, corest backs and fringing detailing adds a fierce 'wild thing' attitude to the clothing. Gold, heavily encrusted with animal influenced jewllery and accessories can give more glamour to your outfit. 
  
2011 safari also has a more tailored and soft lined edge, take Louis Vuittons giraffe suit the clean cut lines and sheer fabric gives what should be a bizare affair a cutural classic. Hobbs works wonders on this military safari suit, it looks so effortless and chic.

So whether you want to bring out your inner wild child by teaming leather with fresh green shirts and snakeskin heels or if your choice be the natural earthy colours of camel and grey trousers and sweaters. You have to agree safari seems now more interesting than before.
