Leopard print was a sign of wealth and power; it goes back to the ancient cultures such as Asia and Africa. In modern fashion, it began to gain traction in the mid-20th century. Following this, double denim originated from the United States around the 1970s, it became popularised by both celebrities and musicians; chunky trainers first gained traction in the early 2000s and made a comeback in 2010s.
