NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A runway show with all the glitter and glamour of New York fashion week came to Westchester this week, but the models were way more interested in treats than fame and fortune.
It might have had the all the chic élan of more famous style events, but this rambunctious affair had a lot more zooming and cheering than your typical staid runway event.
The high fashion fun was part of the new “Summer Series at Clinton Park” sponsored by RXR. In this case, the champagne and canapés were replaced with water dishes and Milk Bones, but there was still plenty of intrigue and drama in the plaza.
One of the models shamelessly tried to curry favor with a celebrity judge from the Gentlemen’s Lab men’s grooming studio. Another model, who should have been practicing his runway walk, was instead caught eyeballing the complimentary treats from Casaroma Cafe that were clearly for attendees.
In the end, there was no scandal and both participants were ruled to be “good boys” — yes they were! — yes they were!
Everyone who came out was a winner at this special canine fashion show, but the top dogs went home with prizes and bragging rights at the dog park.
In the category of “Best Owner/Dog Duo” for matching or complementary outfits for the dog and owner, “Evie” and her owner Nova won paws down.
For cutest costume, “Deyrolle” was named the next top model, to the delight of owner Lisa.
The “Funniest Costume” category went to Asal and owner Zhara.
