For more than 20 years, the fashion powerhouses Grace Coddington and Didier Malige have lived together with a menagerie of incorrigible cats. This delightful, giftworthy book records their relationship through photographs (Malige's) and drawings (Coddington's) that document the couple's highly entertaining private and work lives through the eyes of their feline friends. These include Henri, an old-school, catnip-addicted, surfing chartreuse; his sister Coco, a couture-obsessed chartreuse on a sashimi diet; and her pal Baby, who doesn't quite share Coco's discipline, and will, sadly, never fit into a sample size. Then there's Puff, a mixed-up long-hair from Harlem whose curiosity--anyone for fortune-telling at Dave?--hasn't killed him yet; and finally Bart, the Persian youngster who would rather sit on the rooftop terrace than in the front row. The Catwalk Cats, a visual diary introduced by the irrepressible Puff, gives us a window into four madcap seasons in the life of this fabulous furry brigade, with sections devoted to the Collections, the Campaigns, and, of course, the Catfights. At once delightful and dishy, it is both a convincing argument for the fundamental similarities between felines and fashionistas and a moving meditation on love and life as a family.

Vogue from 1968-1986 and Design Director of Calvin Klein in 1987. She is the author of the bestselling Grace: Thirty Years of Fashion, which quickly sold out when it was published by 7L in 2003. Didier Malige was inspired as a boy to become a hairstylist by grooming the cats and dogs at his mother's veterinary clinic. In the mid-60s he joined Carita as an apprentice, which was, at the time, Paris' most trend-setting salon. He went on to style hair on major fashion shoots, collaborating closely with Jean Louis David. It was his ongoing work with a number of today's most renowned fashion photographers that influenced him to start making pictures of his own growing family of cats.
