Cats in Haute Couture

Enjoy the pictures from the 15th Cat Fashion Show in New York. The show, taking place in Algonguin Hotel, also celebrated the host cat Matilda’s birthday. The participants looked posh and glamorous.

Haute Couture is a French phrase for high fashion. Couture means dressmaking, sewing, or needlework and haute means elegant or high, so the two combined imply excellent artistry with the fashioning of garments. The purchase of a haute couture model garment is at the top level of hand customized fashion design and clothing construction made by a couture design house. A model haute couture garment is made specifically for the wearer’s measurements and body stance. The made to measure exclusive clothes are virtually made by hand, carefully interlined, stay taped and fitted to perfection for each client.

Now, I’m asking you how absurd you think this is? Fist of all I really don’t get it why do cats need dresses in the first place and especially high fashion specially customized design. It seems to me like a complete nonsense spending such vast and ridiculous amounts of money without any good reason. If these old ladies really had too much money and didn’t know how to spend it they should have given it to some humanitarian action or to the poor or at least to me! I would have known how to invest it wisely.

And besides all that I think I feel sorry for these poor creatures. I mean, it’s not these kitties fault that their owners are a complete mental cases. I know no cat can possibly enjoy being dressed up in some fancy dress and carried around under such strong lights. What do you think about this event?
