Pet Fashion Week

The dog fancy really took off in the Victorian Era after the Queen began appearing with a Pekingese. I mention this because this weekend is the Second Annual Pet Fashion Week--a blend of pet industry products and fashion. The title is a bit misleading since the fashion shows take place on the weekend and not throughout the week but maybe that is what they plan for the future.

Anyway, take a gander at some of the photos (courtesy of the Pet Fashion Week website gallery) and let me know what you think. The still photograph was taken by Daniel Gagnon (see more) while the runway shot was snapped by Traer Scott (see more) Beautiful photography...

If you want to see these models in action visit this link at Pup Style with Dara Foster or view the official Pet Fashion Week video collection. I imagine they will have the new 2007 videocasts up shortly after the shows this next weekend.

Pet Fashion week raises money for a variety of charities and this year guests will have fun while helping to raise funds for the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s Animals, an umbrella organization for over 130 animal welfare organizations. Legally Blonde is the theme and the cast of the musical will be attending the kick-off party (read more).

So, have you participated or attended a pet fashion show? How about a fun pet show? Let me know and send me any snaps--they would be fun to post!
