Located in New York’s Upper East Side at the corner of Madison Avenue and 77th Street, The Mark Hotel combines avant-garde design with the latest technology & old-world comfort. The Hotel has partnered with Milan-based clothing brand Poldo Dog Couture for a unique collaboration which combines animal outerwear fashioned through Italian craftsmanship with the hotel’s unique style and sensibility.
Drawing on a group of talents that includes French legendary designer Jacques Grange, Michelin-star chef Jean Georges Vongerichten, celebrity hairstylist Frederic Fekkai and master perfumer Frederic Malle, The Mark provides an exceptional level of personal service and amenities. There are 24/7 shopping opportunities at Bergdorf Goodman, and access to The Mark Sailboat, a 70-foot vessel available to guests to sail around the New York harbor.
Starting this September, 2019, two limited-release pieces, the Milano Bomber and the Trieste Raincoat, designed in The Mark’s signature orange and navy colors, will be featured in the Mark Hotel’s online boutique LeShop. Said Poldo Dog Couture’s co-founders Riccardo Gardoni and Maurizio Azzimonti, “We are very happy to collaborate with The Mark, who carries the distinction of being one of the world’s most exquisite hotels providing the ultimate luxury experience to its guests; humans and dogs alike. In a world where attention to detail in all aspects of our lives makes the difference, we cannot overlook our big and small life companions.”
Founded by fashion industry veterans Riccardo Gardoni & Maurizio Azzimonti, Poldo Dog Couture is a timeless brand defined by craftsmanship and an emphasis on quality, comfort and practicability, reflecting the founders’ belief that no pet should be exempt from a well-lived life.
The Mark Hotel, one of the most dog-friendly hotels in New York City, has created several amenities for their doggie-guests in the past, including the popular Woof Woof Kit, recognizing that pets are just as part of their guests’ family as their own children — in alignment with Poldo’s beliefs.
To celebrate this partnership, The Mark and Poldo Dog Couture will host a picnic prepared by the Mark’s chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten in Central Park, capturing the essence of a relaxed moment with your four-legged friend before the madness of New York Fashion Week. It will also be an opportunity to adopt a furry friend from New York’s no-kill pet shelter, Social Tees.
