With New York Fashion Week in full bloom, every designer is looking to stand out in a unique way. Dogs are universally loved by most people, making anyone fall in love with their cuteness and the clothes they’re helping model.
Humankind’s best friends stole the show at Elysian Impact’s Inaugural CatWalk FurBaby fashion show during New York Fashion Week. The event brought together a magnitude of designers, models and rescue animals to celebrate and fundraise for animal welfare organizations.
Ten models wore outfits designed by designers like Nicole Miller, Victor de Souza, Brook Wilder and others as they pranced the runway with their four-legged companions.
Dr. Christina Rahm, CEO of DRC Ventures, the event’s lead sponsor, manages various brands including a couture luxury pet and human fashion line. Rahm is a pet lover herself, with three dogs and a cat at home.
“We started thinking… What are we doing for animals? And my husband, Clayton Thomas, his family, we’re veterinarians, so we decided we’ve really got to do something for animals,” Rahm said, who has created a supplement line and a protective clothing line for animals.
She added: “I wanted them to look fashionable. So we did a couture line as well.”
