The Chanel Fall 2011 Campaign is certainly MEOW-worthy! Styled by the legendary Carine Roitfled, the high-fashion house has flown in a different direction this time around with this cat-centric shoot.
The first images from the campaign appeared on the Interwebs a few days ago, and reactions have been phenomenal to the unconventional ad. Shot by Karl Lagerfeld himself, the ad features Freja Beha Erichsen dressed in a catwoman costume that is less than sexy, but somehow still alluring and attention-grabbing. The approach is definitely unseen before in the high-fashion world, even though animals have been at the forefront recently, as was seen in Louis Vuitton's most recent fall campaign.
