31.01.2012- Cool for Cats

One of my abiding memories of leaving school was being told by someone in my year that when I got older I'd turn into a mad cat woman. Not some cat-female hybrid in the Anne Hathaway as Catwoman sense, but a crazy old spinster who lives in a house surrounded by moggies. After six years, I still can't work out whether this was some sort of backhanded compliment or a sly insult (i.e you're destined to be alone, forever, deal with it!), but now it seems being a 'cat person' has never been more cool- thanks to Paul and Joe. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of their gorgeous beauty range, they have created the 'Meow' collection, featuring cosmetics inspired by designer Sophie Albou's love of all things feline:

Clockwise from right: Cat Eyeshadow in Siamese Please, £21, Cat Nail Polish in Manekineko, £10, Cat Lipstick in Catwalk, £16, Matte Pressed Powder in Cinnamon, £28, Cat Blusher Stick in Minou, £21.

And, as if you needed further proof that cats are very much back in fashion, then look no further than this shot from the upcoming seventh issue of LOVE Magazine, featuring Lara Stone and Kate Moss doing their best moggy impressions:
