“Ideas are not inventions, they are discoveries.”- Leah Busque
Judge of Style
This is a post about canines and couture. After attending the Leatherstocking Cluster Fall Dog Show on Friday, we were not only impressed by the breeds and the training, but also by the style exhibited by the breeders and owners. Most participants were impeccably attired in designer gear, and some looked ready for runways themselves. From our conversations with judges and others, this chic fashion sense has always been a part of these shows. Maybe if the breeders don’t look good, the dogs won’t look (so) good.

The Mohawk hairstyle has numerous varieties, but its origins date back thousands of years. We saw this freshly quaffed version during a martial arts tournament.

Rent the Runway Fall Fashion Show, Syracuse
Bravo to the students at Syracuse University for staging an effective and efficient fashion show for the Rent the Runway (RTR) program last week. The concept was to promote renting versus retail, or to simply find it, book it, wear it, and return it.
The festivities were held at Stolkin Auditorium (Physics Building).
Instead of opting for a trunk show the organizers were bold enough to convince the student models to meander down the curved stairs toward the front of the auditorium. Despite the degree of difficulty, the execution was flawless.
And oh yes, my daughter was a big fan of the gift bag from L’Oreal Paris.

Lebanese fashion designer Walid Atallah takes a final bow during the SFW Fashion Show last night.
Talk about a finale.
Walid Atallah’s design, mixed in with a perfect pageantry of precise presentation and the proper music, nearly sucked the air out of the room last night. Many in the crowd rose to their feet, others reached for their smart phones or cameras. By the end of it all, his showmanship and designs were the talk of the show.
