Poodle Time!-Miscellany

Wonderful Vintage wallpaper

We have made it through Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and I know that all of our minds are on Christmas and Hanukah. 

We have holiday posts planned, but for today I am going to just put up a collection of images that just don't really fit into any category. I just really like them. So without further yak-yak, here they are:

Boy was Prince Rupert's constant companion until the dog's death at the Battle of Marston Moor (2 July 1644)

My dream is to design a modern day version of this vintage sweater.

 Sophia and I actually got kicked out of a gallery-Lucky woman.

I love this-Poodle goes Victorian

Poodle Time!-Poodles In Fashion-Inspired by Fashion Week

Today's Poodle Time is inspired by Fashion Week in New York (going on at this minute). Designers and fashion photographers have understood that Poodles complement good design. Poodles have shown up in fashion since the 19th century. Today's post will have fairly modern overview. Here are a few. 

I am starting out with the most recent. Isaac Mizrahi has again featured a Poodle with his designs. This time around, in promotion of his newest fragrance Fabulous. The campaign was photographed by Terry Richardson.

Ad campaign for Isaac Mizrazi's Fabulous. This was released just this Summer.  Isaac doesn't own a Poodle but seems to use them a lot in his work.

Poodle Time!-Poodles in Fashion Photography

This week's Poodle post highlights Poodles being used in fashion photos.  I are going to start with the 30's and work  forward to more current work.
