ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS (Denver, Colorado) 24 August 06 Snake charmers - Reptile style anything but plain (Lesley Kennedy)
Photo: (David M. Barreda) Model Lauren looks the part of a snake charmer in Escada’s chocolate sweater ($825) and python skirt ($1,950). At Saks Fifth Avenue, Cherry Creek Shopping Center. Snake necklace ($1,995). At The Skye. As for her slithering accessories? A red tail boa constrictor rests on her shoulder, while a pastel ball python is wrapped around her wrist.
For goodness snakes!
Reptiles are not only slithering their way onto movie screens, but they're also tightening their grip on the fashion scene.
Snakes on a Plane, the much-hyped thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson, opened last week, but pythons have been inspiring designers all season.
Handbags and shoes, skirts and blouses, necklaces and sunglasses all boast snakeskin patterns that are nothing to hiss at.
We took a trip to Scales 'N Tails reptile pet shops' Northglenn store, where our brave model posed with snakes large and small. The only thing to fear? A lethal sense of style.
