Don’t shoot the messenger, I’m merely right here to let you know the information that cats (sure, cats) are the latest development to emerge from the runways this season.
This feline frenzy – which is precisely the way it sounds – started throughout Jonathan Anderson’s Milan Fashion Week presentation on January 14 amidst a present that examined the intimacy of clothes in that distinct method Anderson does.
The runway, which was greatest described as an evocative love letter to Anderson’s love of high quality artwork, featured a portray of Stanley Kubricks’s favorite cat, Polly, thrown throughout knee-length knitwear, attire, and a collection of baggage.
Of course, only one kitty catwalk doesn’t make a development, however when a new-look Givenchy landed in Paris days later with one other array of cat-inspired clothes, the whiskers be tingling.
Givenchy is in that awkward in between stage following the departure of Matthew M. Williams in December. The trend abyss, if you’ll.
So the gathering, which was uncharacteristically intimate event for Givenchy, was designed fully by the home’s inner design studio, which, on this case, meant cats. And lot of ’em.
Pussycat jackets and vests with almost camouflaged eyes and whiskers had been joined by shin-length furry coats that had been even paying homage to precise kittens.

Indicative of a Givenchy’s feline future? Unlikely. But a alternate route, if solely non permanent.
Still, as they are saying (I’m not fully positive who they are, thoughts), it takes three happenings to create a development.
So when Acne Studios offered a psychedelic rave and membership culture-inspired assortment on January 17 and it included a long-sleeved tee that adorned the face of an enormous kitten, the development was secured. Jackpot.
This feline fascination is probably an indication of a a lot bigger animal fetish occurring in trend of late.
Recently we’ve seen a giant rise within the recognition of wearable animal ears, whether or not that is headwear with literal stitched-on animal ears or hoods with devil-like horns.
Of course this isn’t a completely new phenomenon both. Brands like Charles Jeffrey Loverboy and COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT BOYS launched ear hats way back to 2018 and, naturally, there have been a lot earlier than that, too.
But recently KNWLS, with its pointy-eared wool beanie, Coperni and its $350 horned hoodie, and Marc Jacob’s Heaven bunny hat has been part of a extra recent animalistic resurgence.
More speifically, although, FW24 goes in on cats. And, truthfully? It’s kinda giving loopy cat woman vibes. Which is Purrrfect. Sorry.
