A FOUR-LEGGED STAR IS BORN
PETstock CROWNS AUSTRALIA’S MOST FASHIONABLE PET
The red carpet is primed and the lights are set. The wait is almost over - it’s time to unleash Australia’s Most Fashionable Pet.
Move over Jennifer, Miranda and Megan, Australia has a new fashion queen – Peaches, an Italian Greyhound from Cockatoo. Peaches has won PETstock’s nation-wide search in its inaugural Make My Pet A Star competition. Peaches’ uber chic attire saw this doggy diva trump hundreds of pets to clinch the crown and title. Entrants in the Make My Pet A Star competition donned their favourite fashion finery and strutted their stuff at their local PETstock store on October 18, 2008.
Owner Marina Carr, 28, designed and constructed Peaches’ winning outfit – a glamorous white furry snow queen coat, complete with tiara, and matching anklets in a style reminiscent of the golden Hollywood era. “She’s a star to me,” Marina said. “I think the whole world should get to see her. I think she’s got such a pretty face.”
The finalists at each store were showcased at www.australianpetfashionweek.com.au and the public voted online for their favourite top 12 fashionable pooches. It was then up to PETstock’s four doggy fashion judges to select the ultimate winner with the ‘X’ factor. Peaches will take home a bone-anza of fabulous prizes, including a $150 PETstock voucher, Eagle Pack Super Premium dog food, and she will also become the face of hot doggie fashion label Doggone Gorgeous, and receive a fabulous range of canine couture for her doggy wardrobe.
As the eyes of the nation turn to Melbourne for the 2009 Melbourne Fashion Festival, fashionista pooch Peaches will be officially crowned Australia’s Most Fashionable Pet in a glitzy presentation at 10.30am on Monday, April 6th at PETstock Vermont. PETstock General Manager (Marketing), Matt Taylor said the competition had been a great success with the event now set to become an annual competition. “We were completely overwhelmed by the huge response we had from pet-lovers across the nation. Australia’s fashion-conscious canines could top any best-dressed list.”
