Cats (and their accompanying ladies) have taken over the conversation once again. American fashion designer Tory Burch just dropped a limited-edition feline-filled capsule titled Animal House, with Euphoria actress and cat-lover Maude Apatow leading the campaign.

Animal House, part of Tory Burch‘s Resort 2024 collection, features the designer’s signature bags (like the best-selling Kira Shoulder Bag), shoes (like the cult-classic Miller t-strap sandals), swimwear, accessories and ready-to-wear clothing covered in the work of German photographer Walter Schels, specifically Schels’s Cat photograph from 1994: a black and white portrait of a very fluffy cat with his mouth wide open and tongue sticking out. Schels is most known for his powerful portraits of artists, celebrities and politicians.
