Have a flop and purr at this chronicle of the Algonquin Hotel's annual cat fashion show
Joe DiMeowgio. Cannoli. Wasabi. Folds. Forget the teens of Euphoria, for these friends are the Next Big Thing. They proved as much at New York City’s Algonquin Hotel, which blesses itself (and us) every year with a kitty fashion show that benefits the Mayor’s Alliance For NYC Animals. The Cut attended the event this past weekend and has returned, covered in fur, with tales and photos of the buddies and their, er, enthusiastic owners.
Writes The Cut’s Madeleine Aggeler:
The guests, most of them clad in tasteful feline-themed clothing and accessories, milled about the lobby, sipping wine and balancing small plates of sweaty cheese and charcuterie — and, of course, discussing cats. One woman tells me she’s working on a podcast about cats. “Well, it’s not about cats exactly … it’s still in production.” Another asks me if I have cats, and when I tell her I have a dog, says, witheringly, “I could tell.”
