Haute CAToure (Ready-to-Wear Collection) by United Bamboo

It was only ever a matter of time before the catwalks (you see what I did there) were dominated by real cats.

Well, Japanese fashion house United Bamboo has begun seriously designing for cats.

To kick it off, United Bamboo has created a line of ready-to-wear (haute CAToure?) items for cats, designed to match their women’s fashions for the Fall and Winter season 2009 – 2010.

I can has little black number?

Strike a pose!

Long known as the world’s fashion center for cats (seriously), Tokyo also boasts the world’s busiest cat modeling agency (we’re not lying, folks).

Take a look at a few of these kittens, and you’ll see why.

Alas, as with the human world, once the kittens age and put on weight, the contracts dry up…

Make room for Kat Lagerfeld

To celebrate its new line of cat ready-to-wear fashion, United Bamboo is publishing a limited edition United Bamboo 2010 Calendar featuring these gorgeous kittens in their hot ready-to-wear outfits.

All photos were taken by Noah Sheldon, as are the ones above.  For information or to reserve your copy of the calendar, write to help@unitedbamboo.com.

You can probably tell that this had made my day. =D
