Who's That With A Poodle?

 Today, we are taking part in two blog hops. The two hops are Barks And Bytes Blog Hop kindly hosted by 2 Brown Dawgs and Heart Like A Dog and Thoughtless Thursday by Ruckus the Eskie and Owned by a Husky.



Today's post features some very famous people who made Poodles their dogs of choice. These are but a few. Someday I will have a second edition of the "Famous". 

Elizabeth Taylor was a known animal lover and Poodles were included in this passion

A  Poodle named Oliver was the bridal gift to Grace Kelly from her  friend and co-star Cary Grant. (To Catch A Thief)

Winston Churchill was a Poodle man. He owned two brown miniature Poodles, both called Rufus. They were treated like members of his family. 

And finally, how can I have the famous and Poodles without one of Audrey Hepburn's iconic shots for Sabrina

Sophia and Niko hope you enjoyed some of our  favorite notables.

Poodle This And That

Hello, today we just have some of this and some of that. These are images that we really like, but they missed out or just didn't fit in with a post we were doing. Hope you enjoy.

Carmen Miranda Poodle Style

Poodles don't actually come in this color combo-but for the sake a contrast-a no longer available sweater

Don't mess with Brigitte's Caniche!

In the 50's Poodles and elegance were synonymous

Well, I guess that can be said for today, Mulberry runway show September '12

And closing with a delightful vintage wallpaper

Hope you have enjoyed the post today.

Poodles In Fashion

 Today's post is much lighter in spirit than the last two I have written. I am bringing it over from The Journal. I wrote it when the fall fashion week was going on in New York. But every week is fashion week for me. So, here we go. 

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 past this Summer.  Isaac doesn't own a Poodle but seems to use them a lot in his work.

Poodles In Fashion Photography

Today's post is a reissue. It starts out with an incredible photograph by Edward Steichen. Along with work for Vanity Faire and Vogue, Steichen also photographed an amazing collection of notables. I am also publishing a companion post about Steichen on Meadowtree Journal.
