Fashion for Paws Executive Director Tara de Nicolas holds-up the non-profit's 2012 'Super Model Calendar'.
GEORGETOWN -- The afternoon literally went to the dogs on Saturday, as
Fashion for Paws and the
Four Seasons Hotel’s M29 Lifestyle boutique teamed-up for a special launch party trumpeting the release of the organization’s brand new 2012 Super Model Calendar.
Both two-legged and four-legged guests were invited to the mid-day event, which featured a trunk show with local graphic designer (and pet lover)
Jennifer Lavallee. Lavallee is the founder of
Bellajenna, a D.C.-based design shop for bespoke stationary and invitations.
Between browsing the latest Bellajenna designs and munching on the occasional sweet (human) or treat (canine), guests were free to pose for a seasonal holiday pet/family portrait, with 15% of each session benefiting Fashion for Paws (100% of the proceeds from each $20 calendar sale goes directly to the organization).
Throughout the afternoon, pictures were taken, cookies were devoured, balls were fetched, and butts were sniffed. All in all, a great event for friendly and furry attendees alike!
