On February 3rd, the San Francisco Design Center organized the Haute Dog show that benefited the nonprofit organization Canine Companions for Independence (cci.org). What a wonderful event it was! Here is my report from the runway.
Melanie Coddington at Coddington Design asked me to make outfits for her two dogs, Parker and Lola. I have never made clothes for dogs as my dog Boy hates dressing up. He always looks so sad in his rain coat:
Nevertheless, I had a lot of fun creating two beautiful coats from Kravet fabrics with contrast lining and 1/8" contrast welt. Parker's coat gave me quite a serious headache: Melanie and I really wanted the beautiful silk lining inside the hood to show, but it was obstructed by Parker's head. I had to cut and sew four different styles and sizes of hoods until it was just right.
Parker refused to walk. He is not a big fan of clothes either.
My son Dima was at the show with me and took almost 1500 shots. Here are some of my favorites:
The most elegant pair, Gioi Tran and Luigi:
David Livingston with his adorable son and his dog:
Nobody worked runway like Scot Meacham Wood:
Avner Lapovsky's dog Kizzy was especially dear to us: we are thinking of adding another dog to our family, and a fox terrier is on the top of the list:
At the end of the evening, both Melanie and I were very happy (Parker and Lola didn't let us know what they thought about all this):
