Kressley, the Emmy award winning star of Queer Eye and former contestant on Dancing with the Stars was only recently eliminated during the 2017 season of The New Celebrity Apprentice. An animal lover, Kressley can’t wait to take part in DC’s top fashion event.

“I am absolutely thrilled to take part in Fashion for Paws!” said Kressley. “This event combines fashion AND raising money for homeless animals and I can’t think of a better combination. I’m looking forward to coming to DC and getting this party started!”

A one-of-a-kind Washington tradition returns as the Fashion for Paws 11th Annual Runway Show takes place Saturday, April 8th at 8 p.m. at the Grand Hyatt Washington. The Fashion for Paws Runway Show is a nationally acclaimed, one-of-a-kind luxury brand event that has raised more than $4 million since its inaugural event in 2007. The money raised by Fashion for Paws goes directly to the programs that benefit the homeless animals cared for by the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA). HRA serves more than 60,000 animals each year. 

The illustrious models walking the Fashion for Paws runway must raise a minimum of $3,000 for HRA to have the opportunity to participate, with many escorting their fashionably dressed dog down the runway. The event features an awards presentation to honor Fashion for Paws’ top fundraiser, who will claim the title of "Model Washingtonian of the Year." First and second runners-up will also be honored on the runway. The winners will be chosen based on total amount of funds raised in a friendly fundraising competition in the 12 weeks leading up to the event.

VIP tables range from $3,000 to $6,000, with a very limited number of special $10,000 tables located right next to the runway.
