Owls Are The New Horses

In terms of animal graphics in fashion, we've cycled through wolves, sparrows, horses and those mammals with antlers. Now owls are having their moment in the motif sun, popping up on t-shirts and dangling on necklaces and earrings. Owls in folklore have the privilege of being the symbol of wisdom and discernment, and in the wild they are fierce predators. But in fashion they take on an adorable quirkiness without delving too deep in pixie-girly territory. Sophie Albou will offer an owl-adorned handbag in the Paul & Joe for Target line (coming up soon in August) that will probably be the hot Ebay search of the collection, but if you want your owl fix now, you can check out the following pieces:
