Anthony Rubio: “In My World, The Humans Are The Accessories”
Dogs in Haute Couture Rule New York Fashion Week
From Anthony Rubio:
2020 was starting off with a bang. I was booked for two major talk show appearances, a one off spot on a long running primetime reality series and in the final stages of negotiation to be a judge on a new major network show involving dogs when everything came to a stop. I was just coming off the high of showcasing 10 seasons of runway shows during New York Fashion Week culminating with my anniversary show at New York’s Pier 59 Studios when the mandatory lockdown was announced in mid-March. Everything planned was postponed or canceled. Day to day business came to a grinding halt.
About a month after the lock down was in place, I started receiving orders from clients with dogs that had large social media followings and needed new glamorous garments to produce new content for their pages. Business started to increase, but not to the pre-pandemic level. With so much uncertainty, everything was pretty much left up in the air including the future of public fashion presentations.
Fast forward five months, and the subject of New York Fashion Week came up. I did not think it would happen, especially since indoor events were banned. Having been accustomed to my runway shows with an audience between 500 to 1,200 people to now zero spectators proved dismal. My previous runway show venues including Pier 59 Studios, Gotham Hall, Hammerstein Ballroom, Angel Orensanz, Industry City and Broadstreet Ballroom were no longer an option for obvious reasons.
After much encouragement and careful consideration as well as having to think outside of the box, I agreed to put together a full runway show following all the guidelines from the Health Department.
With time on my hands over the Summer, I was able to experiment with new concepts and different textiles. Early on, I was creating new fashions and was able to learn how to add details and mix fabrics I had not done before. As the new idea developed for this presentation, I let this collection take its own direction letting the fabrics lead me in the direction that brought us here. The colors are opulent and textures sublime begging to be touched. For the women’s wear, there is always a sensuality and some pieces are very ethereal. For the canine couture, I created a mix of both formal and whimsical creations matching the personalities of the pups. The overall result is a compact feast for the eyes to warm everyone’s heart.
This presentation was a totally new experience which can very well become the norm for the foreseeable future, though at this time nothing is certain. What is certain, is that I was able to create and present this collection with all my love thanks to the assistance of an amazingly creative team.
Without further delay, I present Anthony Rubio Designs Spring 2020 Fashion Presentation for New York Fashion Week. Enjoy.
Background:
Pet Couturier Anthony Rubio, is no stranger to the runways, having done runway shows for twelve years with the last eleven seasons during New York Fashion Week. Born and raised in New York City, of Puerto Rican ancestry, Mr Rubio with formal training at F.I.T. originally started out as a Women’s Wear designer in the late 80’s for other brands. It wasn’t until he rescued a badly beaten up Chihuahua in 2003 he would name Bandit that he had the idea to dress Bandit to be as stylish as he was. By 2004, a full brand was established. Anthony Rubio has become the leading force of all Canine Couture.
The pet product industry is estimated to bring in 65 billion dollars annually. You can’t help but notice that pets, primarily dogs appear in everything from ad campaigns to commercials to television shows and movies. Pets have transitioned from man’s best friend to being considered actual family members. People who delay having children or can not have children have chosen to fill the void with a pet. As with any family member, there will always be health issues and the need for vaccinations which in turn requires pet health insurance. Other expenses come in the form of pet grooming, pet sitting and/or pet accommodations while owners work or travel. Pet travel is huge as well because many hotels worldwide have opened the doors to these family members.
With all of these expenses in place we can not negate the fact the appearances mean everything and that a first impression is based on how one presents oneself. Pet Parents believe that the best impression comes through fashion. Anthony Rubio Designs creates the most distinctive canine fashions to leave the most memorable impressions. Each custom designed garment is a work of art utilizing the best of everything. Anthony Rubio Designs is not only concerned with the pet looking it’s best but also that the pet is comfortable and safe in this one of a kind creation.
Location: Tals Studio
Canine Models included dogs from shelters, rescue groups and social media influencers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY #8 BOGIE AND KIMBA !
Eight in the Chinese culture is for luck. That is how we feel about Bogie and Kimba. It is their eighth birthday and the number of years we feel lucky that they have blessed and enriched our lives. In their eight years they have seen and explored more places than most. The boys have graced the pages of publications, television and computer screens world wide not to mention catwalks from coast to coast. Most importantly they have filled our lives.
On this day, eight years ago, these birthday boys entered this world not knowing that they would come into our lives and fill them with love, laughter and great joy. Mere words can not explain fully how they have enriched our lives nor can express the magnitude of our love for Bogie and Kimba.
Happy Birthday to Anthony Rubio’s Chihuahuas Bogie and Kimba with love and blessings…
A Proclamation
We are back from what turned out to be one of the most enjoyable projects that I have been blessed to have worked on. It was more rewarding than mere words can explain. It was an enriching experience.
On the evening of my show as I came out to take my traditional bow, I was presented with this incredible gift, a proclamation signed by the Mayor of San Antonio Ron Nirenberg proclaiming that Anthony Rubio is hereby officially appointed as “Emissary of the Muses” of this historic and beautiful city located on the banks of the San Antonio River, in the County of Bexar, State of Texas.
The proclamation goes on to describe my commitments and so forth. You may read for yourself.
.
Imagine if you can the mixed feelings of surprise and honor. It was ultimately humbling. To be rewarded this way for sharing my passion.
Thank you San Antonio especially you Yolanda Ayala and Aurora Elisa Deiri. Thank you to all who attended and supported. Thank you to all of my new friends who I consider family.
We’ll be back soon.
A Night At The Ball
The much anticipated 2019 #BideaweeBall arrived and everyone brought their A Game. In keeping with the Glamour of the legendary Ziegfeld Theater turned Ball Room, all in attendance including the canines dressed in their finest. The affair was not to be missed with all activities geared at raising funds for the incomparable Bideawee organization. We all had fun, stayed on our mission and did it in style. Take a look at our captured moments and feel the fantasy.
We Marched the 2019 NYC World Pride Parade !
Assisted by my boys, the ever fashionable Bogie and Kimba wearing Met Gala inspired bejeweled sequined, and feathered couture designed by yours truly. We marched and represented in support of the world LGBTQ population to the cheers and screams of the spectators. I wore a fabulous sequined and bejeweled top hat featuring the rainbow in lovely ostrich feathers. The weather is glorious here with lots of sun with mild breezes. The boys, as you can see, had the best time. HAPPY PRIDE!
Being a working model is a tough job. Here is Bogie taking a break during a recent photo shoot with Premium Paris.

Happy Easter
Bogie, Kimba and I want to send blessings and best wishes on the Easter Sunday. We put on our Easter finery and enjoyed strolling through the New York Easter Bonnet Festival.

THE JOY OF EASTER
Nothing rings in Spring more beautifully than Easter Sunday. Films, musicals, songs, poetry, toys, foods, deserts and yes fashions have been inspired by this holiday. Here in New York City we have a traditional Easter Parade and Bonnet Festival which for years, when we are here in the city, have not only attended but have enjoyed participating while wearing my creations.
This year was no exception. After hunting down just the right materials to bring my creations to fruition, I rolled up my sleeves and with diligence went on to produce these whimsical outfits and hats for us.
One word comes to mind to describe public reaction is “Thrilled”. There were smiles, careful inspections, oohs and ahhhs. Then of course the expected photos being snapped left and right. My personal joy comes from knowing that something I created with my imagination and my two hands brings so much joy to others.
Enough said. Here are a few photos taken by my friend, the talented photographer, Dez Santana who I tricked into posing with me and Bogie in one shot.
I hope my boys and my creations bring joy to your hearts and please feel free to repost and share.
Stay tuned I will soon be giving all a closer look at these masterpieces, to see the detailed work and custom tailoring that went into producing these original couture creations.
Love Anthony Rubio, Bogie and Kimba
