As a street fashion photographer responsible for capturing the Bay’s best looks in the Guardian’s Street Threads feature (and photo book), I’m always on the lookout for well-dressed San Franciscans. Imagine my delight when Sam Love and I stopped by the SFSPCA’s Whole Enchihuahua at Dolores Park on June 2 and encountered a mega-litter of fashion-forward pooches. It was Street Threads, doggie style!
There was flair from Paris, tie-dyed hippie outfits, a pup in a piñata, and even some quirky balloon ensembles. Although the event was dubbed a chihuahua affair in true SF spirit all variety of dogs, from poodles to bulldogs, were included. In turn, all the canines seemed equally accommodating, patiently putting up with their owners’ ridiculous costume fetishes. For what it’s worth, they looked adorable, converting this cat lover into a dog fanatic (for the day.)
