The Only Experience Like This During Fashion Week
From Anthony Rubio:
California Dreaming
For my LA Fashion Week 2024 presentation, I was inspired by the fashion looks I have witnessed for years through film.
Californians love man's best friend. They take them everywhere but unlike New York City, my home base, their canine friends tend to be of the medium to large variety which poses a greater challenge for me as a designer primarily because the garments must be larger and more basic as well as super functional. I love all breeds and therefore welcome that challenge.
California style to me is a mixture of Bohemian fashion mixed with current trends. I chose to go for cocktail to red carpet looks for the human models. There are vibrant colors like red, turquoise, orange, and then lots of metallics like gold, bronze, opalescent black just to name a few. As for textures there were sequins, paillettes, fabulous floral lace, cottons and silk.
For my canine couture, I was inspired by stained glass art. I chose floral motifs that reminded me of Tiffany Glass. For the females, I created full skirted dresses featuring magical color combinations with flowers made with paillettes, tiny glass beads and pearls. For the males there were jackets, long tailed tuxedos and flamboyant harnesses. As the canine models made their appearance they resembled jeweled statues. They glimmered and shined drawing gasps from those in attendance.
It was a huge collection of forty two ensembles making for a seemingly endless cavalcade of fashion and the audience was left smiling and cheering, achieving my goal. My shows have always been regarded as "The Feel Good Show". We need that these days with so much going on in these current times.

"In My World, The Humans Are The Accessories"
Born and raised in New York City, of Puerto Rican ancestry, Anthony Rubio grew up immersed in his Latin culture loving everything from music and cuisine to the elaborate fashions which inspired his colorful palate and evolution as one of the hottest sought after designers to date. Growing up in the most rebellious and yet most expressive periods in the history of fashion helped both influence and mold him into the visionary he is today.
With a formal education in women’s wear design from Fashion Institute of Technology and with over twenty years of experience creating and innovating new concepts and techniques, Anthony Rubio had no reservations about delving into the world of pet fashions earning for himself the title of Master Pet Couturier.

A Vision In LA. -- Fresh off the catwalk of Los Angeles Fashion Week, we present to you Ellie who just made her debut for Anthony Rubio Designs. Ellie models a couture dress inspired by fashion gowns of the 1960’s. What makes this couture confection special is the combination of textiles utilized to create the voluminous frame which was then adorned in stylized flowers made using navy and lime green palettes giving the illusion of a Tiffany stained glass lamp. The dress is actually a work of architectural art and Ellie sure knows how to strike just the right pose in it.
