Dressed Up Pets

30% of young pet owners in the UK feel that it’s important for their pet to keep up with clothing and grooming styles (Mintel, 2020).

The petwear market is proving to be a lucrative and still largely untapped market for many apparel brands.

Boobie Billie, New York
Follow @boobie_billie
New York-based Italian greyhound and chihuahua mix Billie – or Boobie, as she is affectionately known – is more of a mogul than a mere influencer. Having founded her eponymous human-sized accessories line in 2020, she has big plans to bring her distinctive and colourful taste to the masses – for both pets and their owners alike.
Ducky, California
First gaining attention after a TikTok of him dressed as Harry Styles went viral, California-based Yorkshire terrier Ducky has made a name for himself by recreating the iconic outfits of beloved celebrities and fictional characters. From Billie Eilish to Toy Story’s Woody, Ducky’s owner and lifestyle influencer Christine Hsu takes suggestions from fans on costume ideas and recreates them using a mix of custom-made and store-bought pieces.

Honey, Oslo
Oslo-based Italian greyhound Honey is a true diva when it comes to four-legged fashion. Much less curated and decidedly more playful than many of her peers, both Honey’s Instagram and TikTok accounts offer a behind-the-scenes look at her day-to-day life – from chasing a Frisbee to bath time – and her fashionable accessories feel more like a cute and novel extension of her true personality.

Lloyd, London
Proving that dog-fluencers don’t always need a cute and kitschy aesthetic to be popular, London-based Italian greyhound Lloyd’s sleek, monochrome feed would bring envy to even established human tastemakers. His grey fur is offset by shades of black, white and beige, bringing a chic and classy minimalism to his style, and his travel-heavy content evokes an elegant and luxurious sense of wanderlust.

Bodhi, New York
The self-described “most stylish dog in the world,” New York-based shiba inu Bodhi has modelled in campaigns for the likes of Brooks Brothers, Coach and Ted Baker. Owned by former Ralph Lauren designer Yena Kim, Bodhi’s interpretation of contemporary menswear has a distinctively streetwear-inspired edge while maintaining a suave and polished appeal.
