It makes sense that cats would be stylish creatures. They’re graceful, discerning, and throw some of the best shade in the animal kingdom (perfect for street-style snaps, thank you very much). And, as for their owners, well, they include some of our favorite designers (Maria Cornejo), models (Karen Elson), and — ahem — bosses (R29's EIC Christene Barberich).
In this series of portraits and short interviews, the kitties of the fashion world steal the spotlight, but it's the tastemakers who answer hard-hitting questions. For example: “What is Ziggy’s spirit human?” and “If your cat were to buy you one thing from Barneys, what would it be?”
