‘My dog’s built her own fashion community’: how canine companions stole the fashion week spotlight

Dogs have become prominent attendees at recent fashion week shows, competing with celebrities for attention and signaling a shift in the fashion industry's attitudes. Canine companions, ranging from cavapoos to shih tzus, were seen on laps at prestigious events like Louis Vuitton and Schiaparelli, and even featured in campaigns, such as a samoyed resembling Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's dog with Tommy Hilfiger. Notably, a rescue dog named Miranda Priestly, belonging to Pierpaolo Piccioli, sat next to Brooklyn Beckham and Nicole Peltz at Balenciaga. Furthermore, dogs in elaborate outfits, like a miniature schnauzer in goggles and a chihuahua in a puffer jacket, walked the catwalk at Chopova Lowena. This trend highlights a new embrace of pets within exclusive fashion spaces, moving beyond traditional celebrity appearances.
