But of course, Taylor Swift made crazy cat ladies cool, simultaneous with her emergence as the HBIC of the most enviable girl squad this millennium. At that point, many of us started to question the pejorative nature of the phrase.
Enter Stella McCartney’s AW16 collection, which didn’t simply embrace a cat motif, but featured its models cuddling with irresistibly fluffy felines. Gucci and Marc Jacobs swiftly followed suit with cat-centric resort collections, and a trend was born.
