People may disagree about hemlines or the latest It accessories, but no one can dispute the singular appeal of a puppy. And from William Wegman and his famous Weimaraners to Bruce Weber and his fleet of gorgeous goldens, fashion is no different. Over the years, a variety of legendary image-makers, from Weber to Irving Penn and Patrick Demarchelier, have worked dogs into their shots in the pages of Vogue, adding humor, whimsy, and a touch of fun to their editorials.
Posing alongside the world’s biggest models—Kate, Christy, Daria, and more—and every so often even making their way onto a cover, these chic canines prove that the industry has been obsessed with man’s best friend long before Neville Jacobs took social media by storm. To celebrate National Puppy Day, take a look back at the cutest, coolest, and craziest times four-legged friends have featured in Vogue.
