Skinnny vs. plus size, celebrities vs. models...United Bamboo has sidestepped all the sticky issues of model representation with their new calendar, which features cats donning looks from their spring collection. While the average cat calendar might bring to mind the cubicle decorations of certain crazed co-workers, United Bamboo's version looks more like a high fashion lookbook, albeit a cuddly one. Created by Japanese born Miho Aoki and Vietnamese-born Thuy Pham, United Bamboo has gained recognition for their inventive use of textiles and shapes. Their take on a lookbook manages to balance whimsy with style without being drowned in schmaltz. Styled and groomed to perfection, the felines pull off capes, bows, prints. As a special bonus, the furball friendly line will be discounted at their spring sample sale, where 20% of the calendar profits will benefit the Kitty Kind organization. It's enough to make a stylish girl consider a future as a cat lady, after all.
