Awon Golding to launch Haute Dogs Charity Calendar

Award-winning London-based milliner Awon Golding launches beautiful calendars for 2019 featuring rescue dogs wearing couture hats to raise money for London-based dog charity, All Dogs Matter. Celebrated pet photographer Rachel Oates lends her talents to the project, capturing the personality-filled images.

Awon adopted her dog Stevie from All Dogs Matters and has committed to doing her part to help rescue dogs find new loving homes. Her love for animals and passion to help less fortunate pups is the reason behind this unique fundraising initiative.

She has teamed up with 11 dog-loving couture milliners including Phillip Treacy and Rachel Trevor-Morgan. Each milliner designed a beautiful unique headpiece relevant for one month of the year.

Last year, All Dogs Matter charity rescued and re-homed over 350 dogs! The team rescue unwanted/abandoned dogs daily from all over the UK and use a mix of foster homes and kennels spaces to protect the dogs in their care.

All the proceeds made will be donated to the charity to help towards vet fees and the upkeep and provision of rescue dogs in kennels and foster homes. Additionally, Awon has designed stylish campaign t-shirts and totes to raise further funds for the cause.

This campaign will help raise awareness of the amount of rescue dogs across the globe that would make beautiful additions to any loving home. Why not treat a loved one to the perfect Christmas gift and help make a difference by buying a one- of-a-kind haute couture calendar, t-shirt or tote bag?

Prices for the calendars start from £20, £15 for the t-shirts and £12 for the tote bags.
