Hello Kitty is set to star in Japanese Vogue wearing autumn and winter designs by John Galliano for the Dior. The famed cartoon posed with the designer and enjoyed a shopping spree in Paris in the April edition of Japanese Vogue.

“Of course this is the first time the historic fashion house of Dior has had a cartoon character model their entire collection,” said an official at Conde Nast Japan, publishers of Vogue Nippon, to Reuters.

“Japanese animation and characters have been a strong influence on the fashion world in the last few seasons, but Kitty is special,” the official said. “Fashion people all know her name and face and always say they love her. That’s why we at Vogue wanted to do something involving her.
