Dogs dominated the front row and catwalks at recent fashion week shows, competing with celebrities for photographers' attention and marking a shift in how the industry treats four-legged guests.
A cavapoo appeared at Louis Vuitton, a shih tzu at Schiaparelli, and a miniature schnauzer in goggles at Chopova Lowena. At Balenciaga, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicole Peltz sat next to Miranda Priestly, the creative director's rescue dog. Tommy Hilfiger walked his post-show bow with a fluffy samoyed that resembles Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift's dog, which stars with Kelce in a brand campaign.
Dogs occupied laps where designer bags once sat. A chihuahua wearing a puffer jacket took over the Chopova Lowena catwalk. The presence of canine companions at fashion week's most exclusive spaces comes as the industry's attitudes toward dogs appear to be changing.
The sightings came during fashion week's most recent iteration, which wrapped on Tuesday. Other front-row moments included Jacob Elordi greeting Owen Cooper at Bottega Veneta, Rihanna arriving 63 minutes late to the Matières Fécales show, and Dua Lipa gossiping with Nicole Kidman and Pedro Pascal at Chanel.
