Prepping for Doggies on the Catwalk 2017

/

I walked into Nars, Les Copains, Tod's Theory, Monck Mason, Louboutin, Alice + Olivia, Canali, Planet Blue and Kit and Ace yesterday, Saturday April 8. I wasn't shopping but I was on a mission. But let's back this up first. [My] day started with a visit to doggie couture boutique Bark Fifth Ave. It's located in Buckhead and the showroom is a designer hotspot for all things canine. Owner, Ashley Daniele is walking in Doggies on the Catwalk and threw a "Pawty" to raise funds for Canine Assistants. She served "bark-tinis' for the pups and bubbles for her guests.

My partner, Alex Page, who is also waking in Doggies on the Catwalk and is its co-chair, was with me. From Bark Fifth Ave, Alex and I headed over to The Shops Buckhead. Our goal was to visit all the brands who've partner with me for the event. We perused the showrooms and there are some very fabulous clothes in all of them! Looking through it all gives me a better idea about the runway theme and line up.

It's going to be a great runway with 20+ models and over 40 looks! This is the biggest runway show to date for Doggies on the Catwalk. [And if I'm excited] YOU should be too! Tickets are selling fast and they are only $50. Buy them HERE and see you on May 6, 2017!

Last weekend, a small group of models walking in the 10th Annual Doggies on the Catwalk, met Grace Murphy and myself at the Canine Assistants farm. [We] wanted everyone to meet the amazing doggies... these service dogs and future service dogs that are just so wonderful.. but of course, we all got a massive case of puppy fever! Look through the slide show below and you'll see why!

I felt it was important for models to get a tour of Canine Assistants, meet their dogs and learn from Grace about their mission. While Doggies on the Catwalk is a fun time, our cause runs much deeper than fashion and cocktails. Understanding the role of service dogs and how they help, improve and impact lives gave models a better perspective about their own role in respect to Doggies on the Catwalk.
