While not many have the charm and poise to take on the role of a cat lady and make it stylish, the Muse December 2011 shoot could help achieve such a look as it serves as a great example.
Titled 'Madame X,' the editorial gets ferocious and fiery with frenzied felines acting as props. Model Kendra Spears gives an intense shot as she poses with a cat curled in her arms. The outdoor setting and the no-color captures simply enhance the tale told in this series. Kendra somehow resembles Amy Winehouse as she dons Amy's signature eye liner and hair, rocking a very vintage look.
Captured by Mariano Vivanco, the editorial screams class and elegance, which is further enhanced by the huge vintage hats and scarves seen throughout.
