The second full weekend of February found two worlds converging on New York City,

New York Fashion Week began on Feb 6. The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show began two days later on Feb. 8.

The worlds of fashion and canines also converged on 393 Broadway in New York City as Funari NY presented a fashion show putting stylish pups in the spotlight, walked by models in matching gear.

The Mini Me Couture Pup Fashion Show on Feb 8 featured Funari NY’s eco-couture luxury apparel brand. The line is touted as unisex athletic and ready to wear clothing

The pup line was created out of necessity when designer Janelle Funarii couldn’t find anything that fit her French bulldog Maxine.
