Good question. The horizontal thick lines remind me of Epstein Island and Ellen, just different colors with different meanings. But relating it to animals - girls go into the monarch program wearing cheetah and tiger prints. Maybe this is some kind of reflection?

But the bears.... suspect. Probably some kind of code we know what panda bears are now there is a white bear necklace and brown bear with the black guy.

Or it could be related to the gay culture where there are the 'bears' - maybe a reference to that dynamic.

Or is could be a total coincidence and just the fashion of the time.
