OK my fashionholic friends, it's time we go on safari... on a hunt for cargo pockets, tassels, Indiana Jones-style ranger hats and everything khaki, olive green or earth toned. Don't forget suede and animal skins, from snake to zebra (faux will do just fine). The world's most fabulous designers showed us herds of models in safari-style couture on their Spring/Summer 2009 runways, at multiple international fashion weeks.
Featured in this gallery are looks by D'Squared, YSL, Gucci, Chloe, Ralph Lauren, Louis Vuitton, and Wunderkind.
