Fashion for dogs...trendy or just barking mad!

During the 90’s one of the most popular shows on TV was the BBC’s Clothes Show. Kevin had opened a couple of pet stores in the early 90’s called ‘Petcentric’ and part of the merchandise included Couture Coats for Dogs. It was a great idea as some of the pet owning population were looking for high-spend pet items.

This gave Kevin’s relatively new business a much needed publicity boost. What could be better than an interesting feature included on one of the most popular people programmes.

Jeff Banks and The Clothes Show Team descended upon his stores in Accrington and Clitheroe to feature a Canine Couture Fashion Show – live from Accrington Town Hall.

The day after The Sun newspaper declared – “Is the world going mad?  - Fashion Shows for dogs?” It didn’t catch on – but it was great fun.
