她也许很可爱，但这位即将亮相最新一期《Vogue》时尚杂志的“名模”还有一些特别之处——她身材矮胖、腿短，还有胡子。
她就是日本著名的卡通猫Hello Kitty。Hello Kitty将作为“时装模特”首次亮相将于本月26日上架的日版《Vogue》六月号。
Hello Kitty将展示时装设计师约翰?加利亚诺设计的“迪奥”最新秋冬装系列，杂志还将刊登Hello Kitty与设计师的合影以及她在巴黎尽情采购的情景。
《Vogue Nippon》杂志出版商、Conde Nast会社的一位官员表示：“毫无疑问，这是历史悠久的“迪奥”时尚品牌首次用卡通形象当模特来展示他们的设计。”
不过Kitty猫在时尚界早已是声名赫赫。
她说：“近几年，日本的动画和卡通形象对时尚界影响甚大，但Hello Kitty有她的特别之处。时尚界人士都知道她的大名和模样，而且一直都很喜欢她。这也是为什么我们想与她‘合作’的原因。”
