Yes, according to the Chinese calendar it is the year of the dragon but leave it to fashion to pick their own animal mascot. Simply following tradition would certainly not be in vogue, now would it? The question then on everyone’s lips is “What animal is in for 2012?” and we can tell you that it is the cat.
Karl Lagerfeld recently shared a photo of Choupette, his new pet, that has become a little star in its own right. StyleCaster? They’re totally “smitten” with this kitten.
We’ve also become infatuated with Jason Wu’s mischievous cartoon black cat. It’s got the most fashionable claws we’ve seen yet. It designs part of the Jason Wu for Target collection for crying out loud!
The latest to join this group? Victoria Beckham in all of her sharp angled glory. In a short film to showcase and promote her new lower priced line, Victoria, cats show up in the form of face-masks, patterns and more.
With these fashion superstars endorsing cute little felines in their advertisements (and simply in their personal lives), we wonder how many others will follow suit?
We know one person who won’t mind an influx of stylish cat-inspired fashions: our producer. In an office debate about cats and dogs (don’t ask), she was the only one to stick up for the slinky, felines. We guess this round goes to her.
In happier news, Adriana Lima is still showing off her rocking body. The Brazilian stunner has been in St. Barts for a Victoria’s Secret shoot (Pop Sugar) roughing it out in the horrible (read: amazing) conditions. Former VS Angel, Gisele Bundchen, also got her sexy on for the latest Versace Jeans campaign (OHLALA Mag) shot by Mert & Marcus.
On Saturday, Chanel opened their “Numéros Privés” exhibition at the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel and it was chock full of gorgeous women. In attendance were Alexa Chung who played DJ, Rachel Zoe, China Chow, Leigh Lezark and more. Yes, each brought their own personality and beauty but the stand-outs that night were Jessica Alba and Lily Collins.
Alba wears a black and white monochromatic dress from the Cruise 2012 collection opting to ditch the black knee high boots for a platform heel instead. With a simple red lip and her hair spilling over one shoulder, she looked sophisticated and sexy all at the same time.
Collins looked fresh and youthful in a printed floor scraping dress from, what Just Jared is labeling, the Pre-Spring/Summer 2012. While her look is vastly different from Alba’s, the two were eye-catching for all of the right reasons.
