Holiday Gifts: United Bamboo Cat Calendar 2011

It's holiday season, and December is the month to give and receive.... For the next few weeks, I will occasionally post gift items selected for being unique, lovely and designed to benefit a "good cause."

To promote their cult brand United Bamboo, fashion design duo Miho Aoki and Thuy Pham had the genius idea to recreate their fall and resort collections in miniature for feline models. A casting call with over 100 cats, from which a dozen of the "best looking" were selected to be photographed by Noah Sheldon. Among the winners were a Persian, a Russian Blue and a Maine Coon. This is United Bamboo's second annual charity calendar, which raises money for Animal Haven and Kitty Kind. The twelve images will also be on view at Creatures of Comfort New york starting November 17.
