Arrogant Cat

Arrogant Cat began in London’s Portobello and Spitalfields markets, founded by Somi, who was identified as its creative director. The brand opened its first store in 2001 and developed a retail presence that included four UK stores, a Harrods concession, a Hong Kong flagship, and franchises in Denmark, Kuwait, and Dubai. Its creative identity combined street-chic styling with feminine design, presenting eclectic, individually styled womenswear rather than following a conventional seasonal launch schedule. Arrogant Cat’s public fashion profile also included Amy Winehouse: a replica of a dress she wore in the 2007 video for “Tears Dry On Their Own” appeared in a Design Museum exhibition account. Arrogant Cat (Trademark) Limited was incorporated in the United Kingdom in 2009 and remains listed as an active private limited company. Its documented fragrance activity consists of Dawn I and Dusk I, both launched in 2011.
