By Megan Baldwin

Is it just us, or is there something wrong about a chihuahua in a Juicy Couture tracksuit? But, pet fashion prevails. Perhaps the "never say die" attitude is what enticed Roberto Cavalli to join the fray, or maybe the man just loves print. Regardless, when we heard the news of his foray into four-legged fashion, we were inspired to revisit it. If Cavalli is doing doggie style, then it has to be chic…right? Well, we'll leave it up to you and Fido to decide.Here's our pictorial into the so-bad-it's-amazing world of creature couture. It might not be chic, but between the biker jackets and the pleather bowties, we think there's definitely another four-letter word in there somewhere.
