CL EXCLUSIVE: MYCHAEL KNIGHT’S KITTY’S LITTER
Tuesday, December 4, 2007
I got a chance to catch up with American’s Project Runway favorite, Mychael Knight the other day and got some insight into his new lingerie line, Kitty & Dick. Mychael has put together a group of performance artists called the Kitty’s Litter to brand and market the new line of intimate apparel. They are the faces of. Myke describes the girls as being The Pussycat Dolls, meets Victoria Secret’s Angels, meets The Fly Girls! And he’s absolutely right. I’ve had the opportunity to sit in on a couple of rehearsals, and these girls are super talented.
I promised Myke that I wouldn’t reveal too many secrets, so I won’t tell you too much. But the girls (from left-to-right in the top photo), Candis, Marcia, Rae, Maya, Kendre and Sonni, choreographed by Victor Jackson, will perform with a guest recording artist, entertainer, or personality each month at the Kitty & Dick Suite! So be on the look out, because it’s going to be hot!

The girls look nice just because there not all high yellow and wearing a lace front like you know who? It’s about time we see really black women not mix. That’s why black men minds are messed up now. Good job Micheal , something diff.

Kitty Litter / Kitty&Dick!!!!!!!!!! The names just turn me off. His designs were just OK IMO. The dress he made the girl on SUPER SWEET 16 was ugly and looked really cheap.

#76 WHATEVER!!! WHY does skin color (dark vs. light) have to be a topic that black people bring up? That’s why we (black people) all will be divided and what is divided will fall.

Well… I have had some of the ladies from Kitty’s Litter preform at my “BROKE $ BOUJEE” parties here in ATLANTA. and all I have to say is .. HOT DAMN….
Those girls dont stop.. wont stop.. and wont break a sweat in the process.
Instead of bringing this man down, applaud him for trying to think of different ways to market himself and engage the consumer. I have known Mychael for years, he is always cutting edge, Im proud of him.
Kudos to the Kid….

This kitty litter collection smells just like the stuff in a real kitty litter box - stinky. The name stinks and so do some of the outfits. I’m not impressed to want to wear stuff like that. I like some of those shoes though- the red pumps- me like.

Uhhhhh………is this line going to be sold exclusively at Walmart or what???? The pieces look like cheap swap meet crap. The whole concept is just OFF….. the name, the girls, the pieces.
And is he really comparing these girls to Victoria Secret Angels!
Back to the drawing board please.

So, When I hear Kitty’s Litter (judging from the use of the comma in “Kitty’s” and knowing that a litter is a group of babies born all at once) I gather that his meaning is that these ladies–who are all quite HOTT and posing their asses off– are the fruit of Kitty. Now the real question is…Who the hell is Kitty?????
Additionally, I think the name of the line is quite clever. It must be for men and women ie. Kitty&Dick (oh yeah…for us old school cats who have some culture and our minds not constantly on sex…”Dick” is the proper nickname for Richard–look it up people!!)
Kudos to you MK… way to keep it classy and old school. The ladies look like an updated flashdance…that WAS a GREAT movie!!!

KITTY’S LITTER OR DICK AND KITTY, WHATEVER THE HELL IT’S CALLED, is not CUTE.
just because it’s MAD COLORFUL doesn’t make it nice or creative or avant garde.
it’s just wack.

That’s funny, I was just perusing Myspace yesterday and came across a few of these girls’ websites. They all seem to be hard-working college students who love to dance and sing. They look great. However, I do agree Kitty Litter is a strange name for a lingerie line…but I understand where he’s tryin to go.
@30) You can see these girls without their lacefronts and heavy makeup on their Myspace pages and they look alot different but still cute.

Well its Kitty’s Litter (as in a litter of kittens), so I guess he was trying to go for maybe a sexy kitten type thing, I dunno, but it really doesn’t go over very well. Also, Whoever told him that Kitty and Dick would be a good name for a lingerie line should be slapped!

“Kitty Litter”? Are they serious? How can broads accept this kind of image and this group name? Women fought for over 40 years to stop society from objectifying us, look at this. We’re being bombarded with bimbos with mics. I understand our elders’ frustration.

I think the concept is cute and different. The pieces that are shown in these photos,are not the pieces he will be selling imo. You know how in some fashion ads and runways shows the clothes that are shown are outrageous and look unwearable,i think that’s what he’s doing. The lame and mixing matching prints are just heightned for fashion puposes,that’s what i think anyway.

SERIOUSLY? I am not hating, I kinda like the colors and stuff but honestly? These designs were already done in 2005 for the David Banner video. What is so innovative about this? I mean I would wear a few pieces but that’s ONLY for wild summer parties.

Mychael did NOT deserve to win project runway…#74 is right…with the exception of the outfit he made from trash, all his other work was underwhelming. I do, however, think he’s talented but more in a helping-to-realize-another’s-idea than a design-my-own-collection kinda way. He’s just lacking in taste, I guess…he doesn’t really haven an aesthetic, really…his work is ALWAYS without artistic design. But, when he worked with Laura, he did well…he, basically, knows how to imbue another’s sophisticated design with an element of youth…but that’s not the same as creating a youthful, sophisticated design from jump.
Jeffrey deserved to win, his stuff was leaps and bounds ahead of the pack. Laura’s stuff always looks the richest, though…it looks timeless…I would love to get my Mom a few of her things.

I am a big fan of Project Runway. I am not surprised that Mycheal came up with this tacky name and over done marketing concept. I like the guy but he doesn’t have an original thought in his head.
I knew when they had that challenge on Project Runway where each designer had to come up with a 3-word slogan to describe their design and his was “Sexy-Sensual-Seductive” that he must read on a 6th grade level. He should get some help with that.

Why can’t we ever support each other? Seriously?
Yes, the names of the line and the group is risque and need revisions. However, *no* designer or their ideas automatically starts out on top. All of you haters keep referencing Victoria’s Secret, but how many of you would really wear their designs from the 70′, 80’s, and 90’s? Well? You hater’s need to stop counting Mychael out the second he leaves the gate. Instead, lend *constructive* criticism and support him so that he stays in the game long enough to improve on his designs and become a hit like Victoria’s Secret.
As for the models, these girls are very beautiful. Just because they aren’t tall, stick thin, and white/light-skinned doesn’t mean they don’t look like or can’t be models. It’s good to see something different, especially dark skinned sisters. And just because a Black person’s skin color shouldn’t be an issue doesn’t mean it isn’t. Yall know whether or not a light skinned sistah has less talent or looks she will be favored over a dark skinned sistah; e.g. Beyonce v. Kelly R. This is true in the Black community as well as American society.

Before anyone makes comments you need to take some advanced english classes. Everybody got something to say but you write like third graders.
For those talking about the name, yes it’s saucy but 145 comments later it made you talk! Exactly what he wanted.
It’s funny how people say negative things about this project but will watch and support all the ghetto mess on BET. What else are black people good at besides judging and hating. I Bet when Victoria Secret came out with their line, all the white people supported them helping it be successful.
None of the girls are strippers, they are all professional dancers riding out with MK and his quest to succeed. Don’t hate, participate.

I’m sorry but from what I’ve seen Mr. Knight’s enterouge at a few of their gatherings and they don’t appear to be the maturest group to help him succeed in this industry. They act like a bunch of college kids on spring break.

I like what I see and I think that the name Kitty and Dick is very creative! I’m not just saying that because he is my brother. Micheal is very talented in what he does. None of his styles are tacky and they sure dont look like that damn cheap Baby Phat some of you all claim. Just check out the web site. http://www.mychaelknight.com. I’m not mad at all the other opinion thats why its your opinion but damn he’s doing big things…give my boy some credit!

I really like Mychael Knight, I liked his designs on project runway and I think that this line is going to be really nice too. I also like the idea of the line being modeled by dancers, especially since the choreographer is Victor Jackson (I went to high school with him and he is a GREAT choreographer!). So the whole idea is great, but he messed up when it came to the name. The name alone would make people not want to wear it even though it looks great.
