Snoopy, the iconic beagle beloved by children all over the world, will be the subject of a colorful runway fashion show this September at th Bryant Park tents. Isaac Mizrahi and Betsey Johnson are among the designers that have signed on thus far to design Peanuts-inspired couture for the fashion show, proceeds of which will benefit the non-profit charity Dress for Success.
Apparently, this isn’t the first time Snoopy has been besieged with a vast designer wardrobe. According to the article in Fashion Week Daily, in 1988, Chronicle Books released Snoopy in Fashion, a photo-heavy based book that featured the chic pooch and his sister, Belle, modeling canine couture by 95 of fashion’s biggest names, including Karl Lagerfeld, Mary McFadden, Issey Miyake, Gianni Versace, Calvin Klein, Oscar de la Renta, and even L.L. Bean.
Personally, I always thought Snoopy was more of a Hilfiger man. And for more formal occasions, I kind of pictured him in a Brooks Brothers outfit. Shit, I can't even believe we're having this conversation. What has my life come to that I'm now actually thinking about the fashion choices of a stuffed dog? Good grief!
FYI...in the above photo, Snoopy and his lady friend are chilling out in some Miyake.
