DRC Ventures, a global catalyst for conservation efforts led by visionary founder Dr. Christina Rahm, is the event’s partner sponsor. DRC Ventures is hosting Merci Dupre Clothiers couture line which is expected to become the ultimate in luxury, eco-fashion, and environmental protection.

The ELYSIAN team and SohoMuse have brought together designers from all over the country for one eclectic, high-energy show,” said Fern Mallis, the event’s emcee and founder of New York Fashion Week. “No two outfits will look the same, and some of our designers are so dedicated to the cause that they are creating complementary outfits for the pets.”

CatWalk FurBaby was conceived by Floyd as a way to bring together creative powerhouses, women change-makers, and animal welfare organizations in an effort to make the world better for our furry.

“Our readers are lifelong learners, successful in their lives and careers, and possess an insatiable curiosity. They also think about legacy, and the growing power of women in the philanthropic space. ELYSIAN Impact is dedicated to improving the lives of women, children, animals and the environment, and we are thrilled to have DRC Ventures as CatWalk FurBaby’s title sponsor, as their values are in line with our ethos,” Floyd said.
