Feb 6th Haute Dog SF Doggy Runway Fashion Show Benefits Senior Dogs
Haute Dog SF, the most posh canine runway fashion show in San Francisco returns Friday, February 6 at the San Francisco Design Center. Last year’s sold out event attracted more than 600 dog, design and fashion fans and raised more than $25,000 for charity.
Special runway guests are Jane Wiedlin & Gina Schock from The Go-Go’s and Ronn Owens of KGO Radio!
Jane & Gina will be on the runway with Flora, a senior dog from Muttville, dressed by designer Shiree Hanson Segerstrom.
Haute Dog SF 4 features fabulous dogs strutting the runway in outfits designed specifically for them by some of the Bay Area’s most prominent interior designers with fabrics provided by showrooms at the San Francisco Design Center (SFDC), a sponsor of the event, along with The Luxury Marketing Council of San Francisco, and San Francisco Magazine. Hosted by local fashion icon and clothier Mr. Wilkes Bashford, Haute Dog SF 4 also offers drinks, bites and raffles from Bay Area hospitality sponsors, as well as Posh Pup Lane, a shopping emporium of doggie delights featuring unique pet products, services, specialties and gifts.
“Our local design community really knows how to put on the dog -- especially for a good cause,” said Rhonda Hirata, VP of Marketing at the SFDC. “It’s fascinating to see how the interior designers and SFDC showrooms collaborate to create designer attire for San Francisco’s most stylish dogs, and highlight this one-of-a kind event to build awareness of the plight of many senior dogs.”
Ronn Owens will be walking with Tootsie, his family's sixth dog adopted from Muttville Senior Dog Rescue. Tootsie will be styling in an outfit created by 2014 Best in Show designer, Anastasia Steinberg Torres-Gill
"Muttville is so honored to be chosen as the recipient of the Haute Dog SF fundraiser,” said Sherri Franklin.
“Bringing light to the plight of abandoned senior dogs and raising funds to save more lives - while meeting new friends - what could be better?!"”
