Forget Leonardo DiCaprio. George Clooney?
So last year. The real star of Cannes festival 2013 was a partially sighted poodle with its name up in lights. The celebrity canine played Baby Boy, Liberace’s nearly-blind poodle in the HBO biopic
Behind the Candelabra and scooped the coveted
Palm Dog award. The annual
Palm Dog awards have honoured the film festival's most memorable canine performance since 2001 and is judged by a jet setting panel of international film critics. The mysterious unnamed pooch was unable to attend the ceremony (a little too much partying, perhaps?) Luckily, stylish Jack Russel Vincent was on hand to accept the award on his behalf, wearing a dashing pair of
Eyelash Sunglasses.
The prize? We joined fashion forward pet label
Creature Clothes to collaborate on an outrageously decadent collar for the winner. Palm Dog Founder
Toby Rose's only stipulation?
"It's got to be even more fabulous than last year, darling!" Well, naturally! After a lengthy debate, we decided on sparkling laser cut glitter gold perspex letters to adorn a luxurious black suede collar. The laser cut pieces were rushed to
Creature Clothes designer Cosima's studio to be hand sewn on to the winner's collar:
Ta-da! The finished prize in all its glory:
