There was no question about it: The first stop on our Fashion’s Night Out tour last night had to be Balenciaga, where Vogue Creative Director Grace Coddington was on hand to meet her legion of fans and sign the limited edition scarves and totes that featured drawings she did of her cat, Pumpkin, wearing Balenciaga looks from various seasons.
If you haven’t heard, she likes cats. So do we. So obviously we had a lot to talk about.
Laetitia Casta has done and seen a lot throughout her lengthy modeling career. Naturally, there have been some standout moments, one of which happened just this year: her 10-page, death-defying editorial in V‘s September issue, for which Karl Lagerfeld photographed her with his precious kitten Choupette. The latest Harper’s Bazaar UK cover girl (see the Read more →
Could you imagine a world without high-quality, well-designed calendars featuring photos of cats wearing designer outfits? Neither could we. At least, we don’t want to. This is why you need to help United Bamboo with their just-launched Kickstarter project to produce lots and lots of them. Or at the very least watch the video.
Karl Lagerfeld’s kitten Choupette celebrated her first birthday today and boy, what a year it has been. That diary must be 1,000 pages by now. The white, fluffy Birman beauty has catapulted to fame more quickly, we’re pretty sure, than any other cat in history (and even many humans for that matter) and we feel Read more →
Karl Lagerfeld‘s superstar kitten Choupette turned one yesterday. Can you believe it? To celebrate, Karl Lagerfeld tweeted a photo of Choupette dining on five shrimp arranged in a lovely pinwheel formation with a celebratory candle in the middle. It wasn’t lit, don’t worry–Karl wouldn’t risk burning Choupette’s beautiful perfect face. Also we’re sure Choupette’s maids Read more →
Yes, you read that correctly. International Cat Day is a thing and it’s today. And, we had to do something big–as you’ve probably noticed, unless you got to this by googling International Cat Day and it’s your first time on Fashionista, we dedicate an appropriately significant portion of our content to cats. Not because we’re Read more →
Yesterday, Girls‘ Lena Dunham Instagram’ed this picture accompanied by the tweet: “Just pounded this. Probably can’t have babies now #aspertamefears.” So the tweet was ostensibly about the teratogenic effects of fake sweeteners, but we’re on to you, Lena. That was just a thinly veiled tweet to show off your cat nail art. (Maybe this is Read more →
We’ve always loved Paul & Joe for their preppy-meets-quirky aesthetic and their willingness to occasionally slap an adorable baby animal on an item of clothing. They’ve taken that signature charm and incorporated it into their latest category: housewares.
The fairly rapidly-expanding label (they recently added cat-themed cosmetics and childrenswear to their repertoire) just launched Paul & Joe La Maison, a huge collection of cookware, aprons, China, serving trays and more. And it’s all really, really cute. For the launch, there are three styles: a floral print, a fish print and a cat print! The latter, for reasons we shouldn’t have to explain, is our favorite.
We chatted with Paul & Joe designer Sophie Albou about her inspiration, her love of cats (but tragic allergy to them) and what’s next! Read on for our interview with her plus more pics of the adorable collection, which will be available on Paulandjoe.com and in Paul & Joe stores.
You know how people say, “You learn something new every day?” Well, we’re pretty sure we learn something new about Karl Lagerfeld every day. How one person can have so many layers and quirks and interests is beyond us. Someone could easily create an entire trivia game about him. [Ed. note: We're on it. Karl Pursuit is koming.] Anyway, our latest look inside the mind of Karl comes courtesy of his next door neighbors in Paris, who are of course Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson.
Kickstarter.com is a pretty fascinating place. Think of the most bizarre, unnecessary idea for a gadget or product and there’s something even more bizarre and unnecessary raising thousands of dollars. Case in point: these amazing “Kitten Garden Party Leggings” by a brand called Pretty Snake, which have already exceeded their funding goal of $5,000. And Read more →
Grimes may be eating a mouse on the current issue of V but we hear another furry little animal will be gracing a forthcoming issue alongside a gorgeous supermodel. We’re obviously talking about Choupette Lagerfeld, who will make her modeling debut with the inimitable Laetitia Casta. According to WWD, Casta recently “cozied up to Karl Read more →
This weekend I had the distinct pleasure of crashing the photo shoot for the 2013 edition of the now-famous United Bamboo cat calendar. This past Saturday, nearly 30 cats (and their owners) came through United Bamboo’s Soho studio to pose for photographer Noah Sheldon in the label’s special cat-size collection.
One of those cats happened to be Skeleton, the seven-month old kitten of famed artist Terence Koh. Fittingly, Koh, Skeleton and Koh’s husband Garrick Gott, were the last to arrive
