Doginista of the Day: Peter Pan, Milan

As Mommy prepares to return to Italia for the mens fashion shows next week, I get in the mood by interviewing a little Milanese-based snack of my own, the hunky chocolate lab Peter Pan. Son of Mommy's friend Aunty Delphine Hervieu, who is a fashion writer out in Milan, Peter Pan, though Parisian in origina, is the dolciest doggy around the catwalks of the Duomo.

Butters Fashion Dog: Peter Pan, can you, as your name suggests fly? Or do you just wear lots of the PP collars churned out by Miu Miu a few seasons back

Peter Pan: Yes, I can fly very high at least in my dreams. What makes me fly? cookies, apples, my mum when she comes back from work. In regards to Miu Miu, it is definitely one of my favourite brands, I have been intoxicated by my Mummy. She loves collars and goes around showcasing her leopard, polka dot or pompom ones, all by Miu... Miu.

BFD: What are you most Diva Doginista qualities? Do they kick in mainly around dinnertime or are you an attention whore?

PP:   I hate when people do not hold the door for me in the elevator or just pass in front of me without a smile or a knock of the head. I do not enter fast food or fast fashion places and definitely could not tolerate to have to sleep on the floor. I am an attention whore, sophistication does not belong to a daily time slot.

BFD: What's your signature pose when modeling? 

PP: Sitting straight on my paws.

BFD: Tell me a little about your average day, what does a day in the life of a Milanese fashion dog look like?
PP: I wake up very early as my mum takes me out before she goes to the gym, she is a fitness freak. So my alarm clock is set to 5:30... Then I go back to bed and wait for her to come back. Breakfast served, a bit of pampering and I am ready to welcome my dogsitter who takes me out for at least two hours in the park. Most of the time my mum will pick me up for a nice lunch at Gold or some American treats at Californian Bakery. Afternoons are to rest as most of the evenings I am out and about, starring at fashion and glamourous events from art gallery openings to fashion happenings, believe me, I come back with a mouth full of business cards.

BFD: Two final questions: 1) What is your favorite designer shoe to chew? and 2) You're obviously too big to ride in a bag, but if you could, what bag would it be?

PP: Balenciaga for bags and Prada for shoes. Chanel is a no go. For bags, it would be a bespoke one from Goyard, I am a bit French after all!

Pomeranian EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Armani, the Mulberry SS11 Dog

"That's right, Armani, whisper in my ear..."

Butters: How long have you been modelling, is this your first Mulberry show?
Armani: Yes, this is my first show. I’m really excited – I was scouted by Mulberry when out and about in London on my lead!

 Butters: Oh the old park n' scout--I get that ALLLLL the time. 

Butters: What are your favourite shoes in the collection? Which ones would you most like to chew?
Armani: I think that the D-ring Wrap Booties in Oak Silky Snake would be the most tasty!

Butters: Oooh python for breakfast, soooo much chicer than kibble!! 

Butters: What is your favourite bag from this collection? Which one do you think would be the best for me to ride in?
Armani: Definitely the Tillie in Bengal Tiger. The haircalf is oh-so comfortable and very plush to ride in, and totally chic for the owner to carry.

Butters: I'll be sure to drop Mommy the hint. 

Butters: Which runway look is your favourite to be walked beside?
Armani: The Polly Push Lock Trench in Chestnut with the Piccadilly in Oak Silky Snake is elegant, classic and something I would always be very happy to walk beside, I could always hop in the Piccadilly if I get tired!

Butters: Enough about the humans, what is your own favourite look from the collection?
Armani: Mulberry’s Dog Macs are always cute and warm for when I’m out strutting the streets. This season it comes in a fabulous Trippy Tiger print, which makes me stand out from the other pooches and is so on trend for Spring Summer!

Butters: Omigod! There's nothing better than a fierce dog werking a bit of feline attitude. Those cats are really only good for one thing: lending their spots and stripes to our outerwear! 

Butters: How long did it take to do your fur and makeup?

Armani: Oh it took ages! Pat McGrath almost forgot to curl my eyelashes! Sam McKnight did an amazing job puffing up my fur –it’s a shame I didn’t get to wear the red wig!

Butters: You would have looked FAB as a ginger. 

Butters: Will we be seeing you in the next campaign?
Armani: Of course, I’d really love to be, but it is still to be confirmed.

Butters: Well if you don't, I sure will!!!

Butters: Are you jealous of my new Mulberry coat?

Armani: It looks fabulous on you darling! I’m really lucky to have a few Mulberry pieces in my own closet which I really treasure.

Butters: Armani, it's been an absolute pleasure, here, take my number but please, no doggy booty calls in the middle of the night (wink wink).
