Fashion Dogs is a fun, vibrant celebration of the animal we hold closest to our hearts. A dog craze has taken hold of America - spas, day camps, ranches, and retreats are popping up from New York to California. The image of man's best friend dutifully carrying slippers to his owner has been replaced by the pampered pooch, a well-groomed, superby dressed pet. Tapping into this growing market, top designers are creating new clothing and accessory lines just for dogs. This book captures the growing doggy obsession in a unique combination of archive pictures and contemporary photographs: find out what kind of dog Winston Churchill loved; see the priceless portrait of Yves Saint Laurent's canine painted by Andy Warhol; see how Gwyneth Paltrow and her dog radiate elegance; discover which dog Chanel has chosen to showcase their watch; along with many more images. Fashion Dogs is the perfect gift for dog-loving fashionistas everywhere.

The book highlights how the signs of fashion showcase stories, hybridations, forms of feeling, from the classics of fashion in cinema, to fashion as cultural tradition in the global world, to digital media. Based on a strong socio-semiotic method (Barthes, The Language of Fashion is the main reference), the book crosses some of the main aspects of the contemporary culture of the clothed body: from time and space, to gender, to fashion as cultural translation, to the narratives included in the media convergence of our age. According to Jurji Lotman, fashion introduces the dynamic principle into seemingly inert spheres of the everyday. Fashion’s unexpected function of overturning received meaning is conveyed through its collocation within the dynamic storehouse of what Lotman calls the “sphere of the unpredictable.” In this horizon, the concept of fashion as a worldly system of sense (Benjamin) generates different “worlds” through its signs.
