What Willie Wore: Scenes from the Life & Wardrobe of a Very Fashionable Dog

By Alexander Stadler

Willie is a fashion hound--a chic Jack Russell Terrier with a nose for style and a taste for the good life. Rendered in charming pen-and-ink drawings, and accompanied by sweet and clever captions, What Willie Wore celebrates the furry muse of the fashion world. Blessed with beautiful bone structure and a closetful of designer duds, Miss Willie spends lazy Sundays dreaming of her capers on the catwalk. Not that she has much spare time - fans will find this chic little darling on the runway in Gucci, defending her thesis in Chanel, hailing a cab in Givenchy, welcoming weekend guests in Emilio Pucci, or having a teensy bit of trouble breathing in mummy's Dior. Whatever the occasion, Wilhelmina Anatopoulos Baker is always perfectly dressed, not to mention perfectly poised.

Customer Reviews

Adorable, clever and funny!

I love this book! If you know anything about fashion, you'll be tickled pink by Willie and her outfits and exploits. The drawings are great--clever and adorable, without being cutesy. Even though it's only May now, I'm going to buy a bunch to give as stocking-stuffers! I cannot recommend this book highly enough. I hope that this is the beginning of a "Willie" series!

Fashionistas & Dog Lovers: YOU'LL FALL IN LOVE W/WILLIE!

Stadler does an exceptional job of illustrating his beloved, and oh-so-stylish Jack Russell Terrier, Willie, in this short read. His drawings are simple, yet capture the free-spiritedness that Jack Russell Terriers are notorious for. As a self-admitted slave to fashion, I love that Willie is wearing the latest and greatest from my favorite haute couture collections--from Gucci to Chloe. On each page, Willie's hilarious antics are brilliantly captured with clever text and the expressive illustrations that have made Stadler a success in the world design. This book is the perfect impromtu gift for all dog-lovers, Jack Russell Terrier enthusiasts, as well as your favorite fashionistas. Willie, the stylish dog-about-town, is sure to win your heart and bring a big smile to your face.
