Victor Weinsanto has been dyeing his very short hair in animal patterns for years — credit goes to Kevin Jacotot of L’Oréal Professionnel — so it was only a matter of time before the motif went from his head to his collection.

His Paris show on Monday was a hoot, with his fetish corset dresses sharing the runway with looser silhouettes, including billowing shirts and swinging skater skirts, drawing links between his cabaret proclivities and today’s club kids.

And so snap-away pants, workwear skirts and funnel-neck windbreakers shared his long white runway with filmy stocking dresses, tight corset-laced skirts and sexy bra tops.

“It’s inspired by the Ibiza vibe of the ’90s and 2000s. Something that’s both bohemian and sexy,” he said backstage before the show, running his hand over his zebra-print brush cut.

French drag queen La Grande Dame, who boasts half a million followers on Instagram, opened the show trailed by an eager photographer, spinning for him to get the curtain of beads on her minidress fanning out like a swing ride.

But with fewer theatrics in this show, you could zero in on the hero items, including a terrific sequin camisole top in a blurred leopard-print; capri pants with side zips and a dressmaker coat, both in a zebra print, and a loose T-shirt and long skirt in a coppery knit fabric.

He even topped some of his sexiest dresses with little sheer shoulder capes in matching prints, which tamed them slightly.

Meanwhile, the designer said he plans to keep his wild, striped hair and just let it grow out. “I’ve got a week of showroom appointments, and after that, I’ll be home all day, so no one’s going to say anything,” he said with a yelp of laughter.
