Refinery29 says human models had better watch their backs, because a bevy of adorable fuzzy spokesanimals is coming to replace them. Nipping at the heels of United Bamboo's calendar cats, Opening Ceremony has bulldogs in bowties, Modcloth put its specs on a rotund pug named Winston, and Karen Walker displayed her wares on some taxidermy critters. That's three, so it's officially a trend. For our part, we worry that these airbrushed model animals are creating unrealistic standards of not getting your face scratched off when you put clothes on cats. [Refinery29, previously]
