Doggy Dog Style in Tokyo
One of the things that gave us a good lag in Tokyo was the doggy obsession – many owners treat their dogs as their precious children and dress them up to the “nine lives” 🙂 and carry them in blinging bags every day when they go out on the town. We saw a number of shops selling sexy doggy fashion – check out our pics of a doggie hoodie, a doggie carry bag, a doggy pram to push the less energetic pooch around in and more – Paris Hilton would go banana’s.

There’s also an awesome article in PingMag which we are delighted to have discovered – bookmark this site – it’s an ” online design magazine based in Tokyo. Defining the term design as broadly as we can, PingMag writes about ideas and inspiration coming from both world class designers, and from the little store on the corner. We look at everything; product design, packaging, architecture, web design, typography, illustration, photography, fashion, programming, graphics, video, art, toys, traditional crafts, graffiti, set design…. anything, in fact, that we consider inspiring and we think will excite you too. ” Spend a bit of time checking out some of Ping’s design features… inspiring.
Ping’s doggy clothing article features the most awesome photo’s of dogs in bomber jackets, kimono’s, smart casual… the article also directs you to the Japanese website for doggy Haute Couture called Nahomilly that sells alice-bands, doggy wedding outfits and believe it or not inflatable swimming arm bands for dogs.
We never managed to get a photo but we even saw a guy with three ‘souped’ up dawgs in hiphop gear in Aoyama with all three dogs wearing sunglasses! No lies. Then there are the magazines that feature the latest in dog fashion, readers send in pics of their dogs looking fly! We found one called ANIMAL PEP but we can’t find it on the net so we can’t show you.
