Just when you thought the fashion world had been forever lost to size 0 models and 'The Devil Wears Prada' otherworldly humans, pets are now just as likely to be found ON the catwalk as in the designer handbags displayed by the celebrity front row audience!

Tired of being just another fashion accessory for the likes of Paris Hilton, pets are now taking centre stage! Hot on the paws of New York's now annual Pet Fashion Week (held in August and lasting 2 days!), London and Tokyo will be staging their own canine glamour events.

The good news is that the Harrods 'Pet a Porter' show in London will also raise money for the dog welfare charity Dogs Trust, thereby guaranteeing the attendance of the fashion benefit glitterati!

The catwalk will be transformed into a 60 ft long dog-walk, where models and the four-legged runway stars will strut their stuff. The doggy designs will include diamante creations by renowned designers such as Vivienne Westwood! Let's hope she hasn't designed any shoes for their precious paws, or there could be a Naomi Campbell style down dog incident!

There will even be a doggy bag to take home brimming with canine goodies and the puparazzi will of course be covering the celebrity attendance...yes I stole that one and it is pretty bad!

Meanwhile back in my world, the thought of having to dress and accessorise Toffee before setting off (in my not-so-designer track suit) on the morning school run, is quite beyond me! I will leave that to the growing army of pet fashion followers out there! If you are one of them, please keep us up to date here at Paws Connect with your take on the latest trends!
