London Fashion Weekend

Friday, September 21st, 2012

Miss Molly has been Vodafone London Fashion Weekend’s resident stylist for the past 5 seasons. She recently worked with creative agency, A+B, to shoot the new Fashion Packed creative which featured LoveMyDog products and a gorgeous Chihuahua called Ruby.

“Just as London Fashion Week is the trade event, Vodafone London Fashion Weekend is the consumer fashion event. Set in the world’s most fashion forward capital, it offers everything you could want from a weekend – discount designer shopping, pampering treats, styling advice and trend reporting all topped off with champagne and cocktails”

Miss Molly dressed Ruby the Chihuahua in a mustard LoveMyDog sweater for the recent shoot, “We dressed our lovely model Ruby the Chihuahua in this gorgeous knitted sweater from the Hoxton based designer. The designer Lilly even has her own Harris Tweeds woven for the range.”

Battersea’s reunion day

Monday, September 17th, 2012

LoveMyDog’s Creative Director Lilly Shahravesh was one of the judges at Battersea’s recent reunion day.

Held at Battersea Park, the day was great fun with lots of people out to enjoy the weather and support the great work Battersea does in rehoming so many dogs and cats.

Joining Lilly in the ‘Handsomest Dog Category’ was Battersea’s vet Phil (recognise him from the telly?), Fiona (a nutritionist from Burns) and a Pearly King & Queen. The final judge was David Levy from The Stafford Magazine, who is also a judge of championship shows.

The winning dog was a gorgeous fawn coloured staffie called Scully. Congratulations Scully!

Spitalfield’s Paw Pageant

Thursday, August 30th, 2012

Rabbit and the team at LoveMyDog would like to say a massive thank you to all those who came along to support Spitalfield’s 2012 Paw Pageant on Monday. The event was in aid of Battersea Dogs and Cats home who do a fantastic job reuniting lost dogs and cats, or caring for them until new homes can be found.

We were supported on Twitter by some famous dog lovers, including Jonathan Ross, Chris O’Dowd, Gabby Logan and Lisa Snowdon.

The Paw Pageant opened up with the LoveMyDog A/W dog fashion show. In total we had 18 pretty pooches and handsome hounds modelling for us, representing breeds from Miniature Dachshunds (brothers Ted & Keith) to Great Dane father and son, Bellamy & Puppy.

The Paw Pageant followed and was judged by Anna Webb (BBC Barking at the moon), Sara White from StyleTails and LoveMyDog’s creative director Lilly Shahravesh.

Congratulations to Flora the Akita, who won ‘Best Bitch in the Ditch’, and Betty the Bulldog whose raffle ticket won her a hamper filled with £1000 worth of LoveMyDog canine couture goodies.
