Erica Arkin
President & Founder
Having a life centered on the business of fashion afforded me the opportunity to see the world in style. It however overtime became a lonely place as I began to instinctively outpace the notion that looks are everything when in fact it is all about the white light of grace. We all I think are going to the same place regardless of any earthy possessions. Truly, my life changed when I got my Bella Luna as she the tiny peanut of a dog that actually packed a big punch. She taught me the reality that the animal kingdom is the purest inhabitant on earth that inherently walks with grace. Because of Bella, love filled my life in a way I had never imagined. The intoxication the precipice of the pure love that we all pine for lies within the animals.
I founded the CFDDA as an 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 the 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. Our mission is to get love into the life of every animal.
