About this deal

Resting on a couch nearby, with the air of a grande dame who’s seen it all before, is Layla, a 12-year-old shichon (half shih tzu, half bichon). She is wearing a purple ballgown embroidered with silver flowers and a matching bow on her head. I find myself asking what she likes to wear – which, by now, seems like a normal question. “She loves dresses and anything with a bow,” her owner tells me. “Her closet is bigger than mine, I’m not kidding.” I have come to the hot, brightly-lit basement of a glitzy venue in downtown Los Angeles, for a behind the scenes look at Rubio’s 2023 Canine Couture show. It is billed as “the feelgood show of the season”, the one event in the fashion calendar “where the humans are the accessories”. After four months living in LA, I feel I may have found its true spiritual centre. I glance across the room and spot a little pomsky zipped inside a carrying case, with a mischievous, slightly manic, twinkle in his eye. He gives me a conspiratorial look through a little mesh window. “He’s not so much into wearing clothes every day,” his owner tells me. “But he likes Anthony’s outfits.” But that’s humans. What about the dogs – does he think they enjoy being dressed up? Some of them are starting to look a bit hot and bothered. On production sets and theatre sets, the stage decoration could be created using this material depending on the theme you are after.

They’re enjoying it because they like to put their best paw forward for their parents. And we do it all to bring attention to the fact that there are animals out there who need homes, animals being mistreated. It’s about raising awareness.” She was born without eyelids,” says her owner, explaining the cat’s eyewear. “She can’t close her eyes or develop tears. If anything gets in there, it would scratch her cornea and she’d go blind. So the sunglasses are fashionable but also functional.” Rubio’s kitty gown on the cat is a multicolour marvel, swirling with embroidery and jewels like a Gustav Klimt painting. “Now I’m just trying to find somebody that will make us matching outfits,” says her owner. “Wouldn’t that be the bomb?” You can upholster using this material or make cushions; it can be used for interior design to create a distinctive quirky aesthetic.

Upstairs, it’s finally showtime. The VIPs have taken their seats, snapped their selfies, and sipped their sponsored beverages. The catwalk erupts into action with a deafening explosion of music and lights and the models emerge from behind an LED archway, clutching the pimped-up pooches, or walking them on spangled leashes. The crowd goes wild. The dogs gaze out, looking bemused, intrigued and anxious in turns. Then the inevitable happens: the pup with the cheeky eyes poops on the runway, as if exacting sweet revenge.
