Pippa Angora, our house model, rises at 11 a.m., stretches for a luxurious 40 minutes and is carried to the studio on a silk cushion. She walks for 6 minutes a day. She naps for the remaining 1,434.
Her runway technique is the stuff of legend: a slow, glacial pace, an unblinking stare and a tail held aloft like a conductor’s baton. She has never smiled, though on one occasion in 2023 her left ear moved. Her agent, a stern Siamese called Mr. Octavian Prowl, takes 15 percent and an unreasonable number of lunches. She is, simply put, the face of the house, the neck of the house and occasionally the entire house.
