"A new alternative to leather - which in itself was a strong trend on the runways - with glossy ponyskin adding that essential luxe touch to outerwear and casual sportswear shapes. Colour can work from natural black and tan to fashion mainshades like cobalt blue. Watch for printed pony with skin prints incorporated into the look." Sue Evans, WGSN, 2013
