Alexander McQueen Left $80,000 To His Dogs

Alexander McQueen's dogs are set for life!

According to the late designer's will, Lee set aside a little over $80,000 to be put in a trust for the upkeep of his beloved pups Minter, Juice, and Callum.

McQueen also left behind money for his two favorite animal charities the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and Blue Cross Animal Welfare Charity, who will each receive a whopping $160,000.

Wow!

How kind and generous of him!

Moschino Will Make Your Pooch Look Posh

If your pooch deserves nothing but the best, Moschino has just what you need.

Their new Moschino Pets line includes cute leashes, collars and tags.

Prices start at $22 for a heart-shaped dog tag and go up to $151 for a leash, but it would be money well spent.

Proceeds from their pet collection will benefit "Dog Search Foundation", a non-profit organization that specializes in recruiting rescued dogs and partnering them with first responders to find victims of natural disasters.

Dog Fur Found In Sean John Faux Fur Jackets!

So wrong.

Two styles of Sean John jackets were yanked from Macy's following an investigation by the Humane Society.

According to the animal rights organization, raccoon dog fur was found in the trim even though it was advertised as faux fur.

The non-domestic dogs are indigenous to Asia and commonly used because their fur closely resembles that of raccoons.

The Humane Society's CEO Wayne Pacelle said both retailers and designers "aren’t paying close enough attention to the fur trim they are selling."

No kidding!

After the discovery, Diddy quickly issued a statement:

"I was completely unaware of the nature of this material, but as soon as we were alerted, the garments were pulled off the Macy’s floor and Web site. I have instructed our outerwear licensee to cease the production of any garments using this material immediately."

What's worse is Sean John isn't the only clothing company that's guilty of using this type of fur. Out of the 10 labels the Humane Society tested, 9 of them tested positive for raccoon dog fur.

Sad.

Photoshopping Is For The Dogs At Ralph Lauren

Ralph Lauren's heavy-handed and downright terrible retoucher has struck again.

But rather than making models look emaciated and disproportionate, the victim is a helpless polo wearing dog.

Seriously!?

In one ad for Ralph's kids line the dog looks like it got a head transplant! Not only that, but they also made the pup look extra fat in the shoulders. And in the second ad, it's pretty obvious the dog wasn't even in the original picture.

This is really getting out of control. Ralph Lauren either needs to stop photoshopping or find someone who knows what they're doing.
