Rachel Antonoff and Susan Alexandra’s New York Fashion Week Show for Spring 2026 presented a “Best in Show” dog and fashion event featuring human models walking the runway with adoptable dogs from the Animal Haven Rescue, showcasing the designers’ playful, dog-inspired pieces.
Rachel Antonoff’s collection featured flamboyant prints and motifs, such as postcard patchworks, stripes, and houndstooth.
Susan Alexandra’s accessories featured colorful, beaded accessories, heavily themed around dogs. Included were beaded leashes, collars, and dog-shaped bags.
The hair by Linh Nguyen for Cutler Salon was full and bouncy. The faces by Brianna Chin for Glamsquad had a ‘60s and ‘90s influence, with lips a wash of glossy colors, reds and berries.
The witty, whimsical, fun show for a good cause took place at St. Ann’s Warehouse in Brooklyn, with celebs including Christina Hendricks of “Mad Men” fame and Edie Falco of “The Sopranos” walking the runway with the cute adoptable dogs. Galadriel, a 7 year old rat terrier mix, won the top prize and was adopted after winning by his handler, Edie Falco.
