Anthony Cotsifas Most fashion photo shoots come with some token catty behavior, but the models on display in a designer purse story for the cult V magazine take it to another level. In a feature titled "Cat Power," sassy felines sit atop and beside Gucci, Chanel and Dior handbags that match the cats' coats. Note: The editorial comes with some "no cats were harmed in the creation of this article" fine print. Anthony Cotsifas ...

Frazer Harrison, Getty Images for IMG We know. You probably thought we'd missed Fashion Week. (Never!) We were just focused on the glitz and glamour of the Westminster Dog Show, which was happening at the same time. But now we can share with you what haute couture bloggers and glossy mag editrixes were all agog over -- the designer animal debuts at Fashion Week. Fortunately, the threads sashaying down the catwalk would have made even PETA happy. Rather than roll out real fur, icons like Anna Sui and Isaac Mizrahi opted for faux and live animal accessories. Anna Sui's adorable knitted cat-head jacket, complete with elegant whiskers (above), was just one of the fabulous feline hats that the ...

Opening Ceremony Fashionable felines have long gotten the short end of the stick. While poodles have oodles of designer duds from which to choose, kitties pretty much had only two options: collars and harnesses. But no more! The catwalk is opening up to, well, cats. And nothing proves that trend better than the two kitty outfits now available at the über-hip shop Opening Ceremony at the Ace Hotel, reports New York Magazine. The outfits, by United Bamboo, retail for $500 each. One features a two-piece look with a purple top, black bottom, and large bow (all the better for taking the focus off a tubby tail or missing whisker, we imagine), while the other is a bit more formal with shiny ...
