Doggy Accessories
5 May 2006
What is it with fashion designers crossing over into home wares? You’d think designing women’s clothing would be enough after all, we girls do like new.
New, new, new, vis-à-vis, fresh seasonal looks, styles, colors etc. etc. Designers need to be all over it and totally focused to keep up with our fickleness.
But obviously the responsibility of dressing the masses is not demanding enough because the likes of Isaac Mizrahi have crossed over to bed, kitchen, and now doggy accoutrements!
Yes, designer accessories for your pooches and with an Isaac for Target price tag, too.
It’s a good thing that you can buy Target-cheap designer accessories for the doggies. I mean people are starving and dying from AIDS in Africa so you could easily feel guilty about expensive collars and leashes and cushions and coats for your pooch, since in some areas of the world pooches are valued as prospective cushions and coats, not to mention a good meal.
When I was walking five of the neighborhood dogs as the primary service of Tildy’s Doggy Daycare, all the girls had accoutrements: frisbees, jerky pigs’ ears, special collars and leashes. Mrs. Vreemont’s Chihuahua, Helga, even had her own tote so I could carry her, which I did - for fear that the bigger dogs might trample her.
Helga in her carry bag is very cute - to the degree that as a unit, bag and Helga, make a very attractive accessory slung over one’s shoulder à la Paris and her Chihuahua.
In fact, Helga is small enough that I could’ve shoved her down my cleavage as a stand-alone accessory along lines of a barking neck feature. One of my sparkly bracelets around her neck, one of my sparkly necklaces around my neck, and voila, double the sparkly accessory affect!
Next time I have a gala event to go to, I’m gunna ask Mrs. Vreemont if I can borrow Helga. Doggies as accessories, it’s very chichi.
I’m surprised someone like Isaac isn’t partnering already with a breeder of teacup-size pooches. What a marriage: mini designer doggies in an assortment of fur colors and fur styles to accessorize with said designer’s seasonal range of both garments, and home wares.
And if you decided not to wear your Isaac Mizrahi pooch out, leaving it at home would still be a chichi fashion statement since your teacup puppy would accessorize beautifully with the bed linens, kitchen crockery, and throw cushions!
Now that is the ultimate in fashion designer crossover.
