The & # 039; Cat Lady & # 039; Cliché is over thanks to the new feline fashion
BRIANNE WILLS she successfully avoided the stigma associated with being a feline until 2014, when she and her journalist husband and two rescues settled in a new house in Brooklyn. With her husband traveling frequently, she stayed at home with Tuck and Liza. "People would say, 'You have two "Cats?" and I could hear the compassion in their voices, "recalled Mrs. Wills, a photographer.
Stimulated by the ignorance of her critics, she created Girls and Their Cats, a website and an Instagram account dedicated to cool cats, both human and feline. His portraits of chefs, economists and artists posing with their pets share a bright and clean aesthetic, and almost eliminate the cliché of the sad and lonely "crazy cat" and his furry companion (or three).
As people like Mrs. Wills change that stereotype, the fashion world is busy fetishizing felines. Designer Karl Lagerfeld has made his Siamese cat Choupette a star, and Vogue collaborator Grace Coddington often illustrates his cats, Pumpkin and Blanket. Mrs. Coddington has channeled her love for the kitten into a new collection of capsules with Louis Vuitton, elements in which the traditional LV logo is mixed with her playful drawings.
Thanks to other luxury items, such as Balenciaga leather bags adorned with pictures of kittens, Gucci's lush cat applique sweater and the latest Van Cleef & Arpels cat brooch, made of yellow gold, onyx and eye tiger, it is totally possible to carry one's love For cats up your sleeve and remain chic.

"The last thing you want to look like is one of those" cat lady "Halloween costumes with hundreds of stuffed animals in a suit," said Jessica Matlin, beauty director at Harper Bazaar and co-host of the Fat podcast. Mask.
Even if you do not live with a cat, break the lint roller before leaving home. "Use the cat, but do not cover yourself with the real cat," said fashion designer Ilana Kohn, who cohabits with three cats.
Rarely, apparently, cats have possessed such prestige. Whereas in ancient times they symbolized femininity, sexuality and motherhood, with the rise of Christianity, they came to be seen as agents of evil. This new generation of Catholic lady without apologies that the fashion world is defending is crossed, casually or not, with the resurgence of feminism associated with the #metoo movement.
"The shame is gone," said Kerry Diamond, a rescue manager named Dusty and co-founder of Cherry Bombe, a media company dedicated to women in the world of food. "Now there is an incredible increase in feline pride."
