The Grand Finale: As a designer he knew that he had to leave his audience with a lasting impression. The last piece had to bring that ‘Wow’ factor. He chose to do a huge over sized ball gown with a contemporary feel. He wanted to recapture that old fashion way of closing with a wedding gown but at the same time he did not want it to be an actual wedding gown. He stumbled upon this rich Navy blue sequined sheer fabric which has metallic gold embroidery. He knew right away that this would be the show stopper. To achieve the depth and volume he used layers navy organza which was also used for the train. He crated a simple three quarter sleeve top with a scooped neckline and attached an appliqué. He made the very same sequined fabric on the skirt. That made the entire look more contemporary and less stiff. The end result was that magical gown which stole everyone’s breath away as it seemed to glide down the runway. Chihuahua Bogie wore a robe of many rich colors which he decorated with tiny metallic autumn leaves. The collar of this robe was jeweled in crystals and amber. Anthony Rubio wanted to introduce his canine couture creations at NYFW, but not as a gimmick, he did not want it to be the typical runway show. Anthony did not want the dogs to appear as accessories. “In my world the humans are the accessories” said Rubio. Americans spend a record 56 billion dollars on pets last year. We see our furry four-legged cuties as family members. As the proud care taker of two Chihuahuas Bogie and Kimba, he would be the first to say that he does not own the dogs, they own him. With that in mind Mr. Rubio decided that it was time for the dogs to give fashion with the humans as the accessories. Born and raised in New York City, Anthony Rubio will be celebrated 10 years this past October since starting Anthony Rubio Designs and he is the most accomplished designer in Pet Fashion.
