New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - September 13, 2024) - ELYSIAN's Catwalk Furbaby triumphantly returned to New York Fashion Week on September 5, 2024, at Sony Hall for an unforgettable evening of fashion, philanthropy, and furry friends. In its second year, this unique event combined the glamor of the runway with heartwarming philanthropic causes, showcasing esteemed designers and top models paired with dogs wearing designer brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Nicole Miller.
The runway show headlined each ELYSIAN Impact category, benefiting women, children, service animals, and the environment. 21 models partnered with dogs, cutting-edge fashion designers, and non-profit organizations within each category. Throughout the event, participants raised money in support of their chosen charities, highlighting the important work being done. The goal was to create a spectacular fashion experience while making a tangible impact on the lives of animals across the country.
CatWalk FurBaby wasn't just a fashion show; money for the Judges' Award, the People's Choice Award, and the Publisher's Award was divided among the winners and presented to the participating non-profit organizations and the winning teams.
The distinguished celebrity judge panel included philanthropist and musician Consuelo Vanderbilt, supermodel Carol Alt Honduran, and chocolatier Maribel Lieberman, who evaluated the participants' efforts. The Judges' Award went to Nicole Miller, and Canine Cashmere was in partnership with NYC Second Chance Rescue, a foster-based non-profit dedicated to saving animals in need.
The People's Choice Award was determined by the generosity of the audience, with donations cast as votes. Team Louisiana took this win, and their team included Companion Animal Alliance, an animal shelter making strides in animal welfare, the clothing brand Queen of Sparkles, and designer Jaime Glas Odom.
The Publisher's Award, determined by contributors to ELYSIAN Magazine from across the country, was given to Team Texas. The team included Operation Kindness, a no-kill animal shelter, NYC-based lifestyle brand D'Marsh Couture, designer Glenroy March, and Russian model Gia Skova.
