It is true what they say – every dog has its day. Our furry four-legged friends are no longer just watch dogs or pets. More and more pet owners are treating their dogs like real babies. Expenditure on fashion and luxury items for puppies is increasing, year after year, and it is estimated this emerging niche will add billions of dollars in revenue, to the fashion industry.
Couturiers and stylists are not only a privilege for humans anymore. Puppies are now able to have their own customized dresses or accessories in their wardrobe. They might be invited to New York Pet Fashion shows as VIP (very important puppies) to strut their latest collections. There will be a number of designers attempting to approach your pups requesting to design four-legged couture. Major designers are entering this growing market for pet fashion in recent years and the number will rise sharply in the near future.
For those entrepreneurs who have products or services, which could extend to our furry fashionistas, the perfect time to strike is now.
Opportunities for this business are at an all-time high and show no sign of losing momentum. Recently, major luxury magnates have launched featured dog carriers as doggy backpacks as the pet fashion industry takes center stage.
Anthony Rubio, a canine couture designer of Puerto Rican ancestry, was born and raised in New York City. His designs are inspired by his Latin culture, from music to cuisine, and growing up in the most rebellious and most expressive era in fashion history. This helped mold him, into what he is today. In his world, humans have supporting roles, while dogs are the protagonists. Take a look at his Spring 2017 show below.
Dogs are our family members and our babies, don’t be ashamed to dress them up!
