Whether it's an animal print or a print of an animal, this fall designers are triggering our animal instincts. Go for unabashed renderings and pair them with basic items like jeans, leggings and t-shirts. Our favorite offering so far? Diane Von Furstenberg's velvet a-symmetrical dress is elegant, on-trend and retails for a very reasonable $300.
