"Fashion and the Internet have collided spectacularly in this series of awesome
embroidered cat shirts by Japanese embroidery artist Hiroko Kubota. The cute
kitties, embroidered with great skill and detail, are an unexpected and
interesting manifestation of the Internet’s obsession with cats.
In an interview with spoon-tamago.com, Kubota explained that the idea for these
shirts happened to come from her son. Because he is of a smaller build, most
store-bought clothes wouldn’t fit him, so she often found herself having to
make him clothing. At her son’s request, she also began embroidering the shirts
with cats, mostly peeking out from the breast pocket.
After posting pictures of the shirts online, they went viral The majority of
her shirts have already sold out, $250-300 price tag notwithstanding. As an
excellent embroiderer, she has a ton of other great non-cat-related works as
well, all of which can be found on her Etsy store."
