Street Style: Doggies on the Catwalk

Stylish looks went beyond the runway and onto the streets at the 9th Annual Doggies on the Catwalk. The Shops Buckhead Atlanta boasted a crowd of fitted blazers, designer shades and red-soled heels. Dressing for an outdoor event in Hotlanta in June is not the easiest thing, but these fine folks did and did it well. *Photos by Kennyatta Collins / Premier XI Photography.

Runway Photos: Doggies on the Catwalk 2016

/

The 9th Annual Doggies on the Catwalk at The Shops Buckhead Atlanta set the evening on fire with the latest looks by some of the properties chicest brands. Our philanthropic models and guests raised over $70K for Canine Assistants - a nonprofit that provides service dogs to children and adults with physical disabilities and special needs. Models showed off SS/AW looks by Akris, Alice + Olivia by Stacey Bendet, Christian Louboutin, COS, Les Copains, Tod's, Theory and Planet Blue. The models sizzled in their show-stopping looks but the Goldens and Golden puppies stole the show and we're okay with that. Some strutted their stuff and others were a little shy and had to be tempted with Milkbone treats.

Another show-stopping moment to Doggies on the Catwalk came from emerging designers from the Art Institute of Atlanta who showcased three dynamic runway looks. So much talent!

Bai drinks kept us cool and hydrated near a swanky a seating area by Roche Bobois. And speaking of swanky, the stage set up for emcees Monica Pearson and Grace Murphy, furnished by Jonathan Adler was fabulous. A Porsche 911 and 718 Boxter S gave an "it" factor to the event, the florals were exquisite and guests came to impress in their best summer looks. Great beats from DJ Rasyrious and perfect weather... the countdown to year 10 begins!

Fittings Day 1: Doggies on the Catwalk

e vincent martinez and monica pearson

Yesterday started what will be a very long week for me of fittings for Doggies on the Catwalk. Of course, I'm on the beautiful Shops Buckhead Atlanta property so that makes the day feel a little  more luxurious. The first fitting was with director of development for Canine Assistants, Grace Murphy. We went to COS where we style her in a very chic, layered dress. At 1PM I met up with Faven Ressom at Planet Blue - OMG - Faven was "built" for the brand. Everything she wore fit like a glove. Gorgeous.

After being stopped by security for filming - we got it all sorted out - I had prior approval, we went into Les Copains to wait for Monica Pearson (and cool off!) Monica entered the room and Les Copains lit up with her amazing energy. She loved the brand and loved her looks. We caught all of fit on video for a documentary I am producing about Doggies on the Catwalk.

The last fitting of the day took me back to Planet Blue, this time with my friend Holly Firfer. We determined her personal style leans towards the Boho chic. We played in the dressing room. A lot.

Today I'll spend all afternoon between Alice + Olivia, Akris, Theory and Les Copains. Yay fashion!

Hurry and get your tickets to the show! Your $50 ticket includes signature cocktails, lite bites, a silent auction, DJ and fashion show. BUT most importantly, it helps children and adults with disabilities by providing them service dogs.
