Truth be told, the title photo is not of one of the designer doggies in the current exhibit at the Museum of the Dog. It is my handsome little guy, Mr. Pepe. I thought he was classy enough to be in this fun exhibit – so I added him to today’s photo montage.The pop-up display, Canine Couture: An Exhibition of Anthony Rubio Designs, showcases the dog fashion that debuted at this year’s Pet Gala on May 20, 2024. Inspired by the hottest designs at fashion’s biggest events, Rubio recreates the looks taking them from outfits for humans to fashions for our four-legged friends. This exhibit is only thru July 7, 2024. Woof!

I try not to anticipate an exhibit before I go but truth be told…this latest exhibit at the AKC Museum of the Dog was not what I expected. I thought Fashionable Dogs was going to be doggies in outfits – but that was not what it turned out to be. Still enjoyable, but I spruce up this week’s photo montage with some fashionable doggies that have lived at my house. No, my gang were never breeds but they were ‘best in show’ to me. This exhibit highlighted specific breeds that have gone in and out of fashion as the ultimate accessory from nobility to the runway. Through paintings, fashion photography, and accessories this exhibition chronicles the rise and fall of dogs in fashion. Fashionable Dogs tracks the arc of popularity of several breeds through recent history, diving deep into such breeds as the Borzoi, Greyhound, Poodle, Pekingese, Japanese Chin, French Bulldog, and Great Dane. Woof!
