A much-loved cartoon character made an appearance for a good cause at New York Fashion Week.
In the first ever group designer fashion show at New York Fashion Week, Snoopy took to the catwalk to join models dressed in creations inspired by Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts characters.
Designers including Heatherette, Isaac Mizrahi, Betsey Johnson and Pamella Roland contributed clothing inspired by Snoopy, Lucy and Woodstock.
The show also included designs from The View co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth Hasselbeck, actress-singer Kristin Chenoweth and the Food Network's Ingrid Hoffmann.
Celebrity models included HGTV Design Star champion David Bromstad and actress/singer JoJo.
Bromstad also presented a Peanuts-inspired dog carrier as part of the event.
The Peanuts-inspired designs are being auctioned on eBay to benefit Dress for Success, a non-profit organisation providing professional attire and career development tools for disadvantaged women.
