About Us

Who We Are

The CFDDA, or the Community of Fashion Design Dog Association, combines furry friend fashion with animal welfare by using fashion to soften the narrative around some of the harsh aspects of abuse—making it easier to raise awareness and inspire change. We highlight issues such as rescue, safety, health, special needs, and legislation in a way that fosters peaceful dialogue and compassion. Like you, we deeply love our furry, feathered, finned, and other animal friends and are committed to helping them live beautiful, well-deserved lives.

 

Our Approach

We use social platforms to address these issues on a global scale, uniting voices and activities that champion this mission and amplify it in a broader, branded way. By collaborating and sharing stories worldwide, we strengthen our impact and create a united front for animal welfare.

Our Story

The CFDDA is organization that harnessed the strength of the fashion institution to do better. We use dog fashion as a tool to get some harsh messages across. People are less apt to look away if they can understand in simpler terms.  Fashion is our passion, but it really is just the way we talk to you. We talk to you about some very bad things that absolutely need to change.  Our mission is to advocate, protect and educate, and to get love into the life of every animal.
