Bromson, Executive Director of the AKC Museum of the Dog. “We trust that as you regard them, you will be struck not only with joy and awe, but also understand the amount of work that goes into each. We hope you will take with you a bit of the powerful inspiration that Anthony draws from the world of fashion.”

Anthony Rubio is an American fashion designer and has been creating pet fashion and women’s wear for twenty years. Born and raised in New York City, he has been re-creating iconic Met Gala looks for canines for over a decade. He has been featured on Access Hollywood, in PEOPLE Magazine, and much more. He is also passionate advocate for animals.

“I am thrilled because attendees of the Museum can take their time to soak in the details of each of the garments I created,” said Anthony Rubio. “In addition to the looks on mannequins, there will be studio photographs of the canine models wearing their celebrity looks.”

A reception for the exhibit will occur on Tuesday, June 11^th at the Museum from 6:00pm – 8:00pm.
