Considering the name of this blog is Pretty Fluffy, it’s pretty obvious that I’m a big fan of dogs, but also love to have pretty things in my life. So when I came across Dogs in Vogue: A Century of Canine Chic it immediately appealed to both the dog lover and the fashionista within me. Behold some of the delightful and decadent images below…

From the brilliant author, Judith Watt:
“It was while researching back issues of British Vogue for a special millennial issue in 1999 that I came across something quite unexpected among the fashion photographs in the magazine’s archive: thousands of canines. “The next best thing to having the world at your feet is to have a dog at your heels,” Vogue proclaimed in 1930…Taken together, the best of the photographs and features provide a fascinating record of society’s changing preferences for breeds and the evolving role of dogs in women’s lives…Anyone labouring under the delusion that dogs are just man’s best friend and women prefer cats will think again.”
