North Shore Animal League America's Fourth Annual DogCatemy Celebrity Gala includes "Dollars for Designer Collars" - an auction of collars designed by celebrities and designers. The Gala event, presented by Purina One brand pet, will take place November 5, 2009 at Cipriani Wall Street, NYC. The auction runs now through November 12, 2009. The collars above were designed by Nicole Miller (left) and Christie Brinkley (right). You can bid on the dog collars here.
The collars were created by designers including Betsey Johnson, Nicole Miller, Isaac Mizrahi, Byron Lars, Stephen Dweck, Lela Rose, Alexis Bittar, Carmen Marc Valvo, Yigal Azrouel, Anna Sui, Christie Brinkley, Marc Bouwer, Lela Rose, Colette Malouf and many more. The collar designs range from fantasy-inspired jewel-encrusted bands to biker looks, circlets of flowers, beads, woven fabrics and sea-shells and all bear the designers' labels and signatures.
Isaac Mizrahi said about his design (above), "I loved this project because a dog has style no matter what he/she wears, especially a mixed breed. It's one of a kind couture."
