Barking mad for Oscar fashions

Are you one of the millions of fashion fiends who covet Oscar red carpet styles? Sadly, the costly gowns worn by Hollywood’s elite will likely never adorn your non-celebrity body – but there may be hope for your dog.
Now, the ruffles, lace, satin and sequins seen on A-list stars like Reese Witherspoon can be worn by Fido, thanks to a red carpet collection of dog wear designed by two Tinseltown textile hounds and inspired by the Oscars’ red carpet fashion.
Designer Lara Alameddine and her husband and business partner, Daniel Dubiecki, own Little Lily, a pet-centric lifestyle brand based in Tinseltown.
For years, they have made Hollywood-style garments for dogs and are immersed in the mix between movies and canines.
He is a producer on Best Film nominee Juno and she designs dog outfits for movies. Remember Elle Woods’ Chihuahua in the Legally Blonde movies? It has worn Little Lily.
An Oscars collection from 2007 featured a bead-encrusted version of the Grecian-inspired Marchesa gown worn by Jennifer Lopez. Another piece was inspired by the avant-garde scarlet Balenciaga that adorned Nicole Kidman.
This year, Alameddine and Dubiecki will attend the Oscars, see who’s wearing what and within two days come out with five new looks for canine fashionistas that cost about $150 each.
