Photographer Giuliano Bekor stunned with his photos of model Jessica Perez wearing leopard print for Shape magazine's June 2011 issue.
One of the biggest trends for 2011 was the intertwining of fashion and music. FashionTV honed in on this milieu right away, as models mixed with music stars and celebrities at major events.
