NEW YORK, July 19, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - The 38-minute documentary "CatWalk FurBaby," which captured the remarkable inaugural event that launched New York Fashion Week this past February, has been selected as a finalist in the esteemed New York City International Fashion Film Festival. Produced by ELYSIAN, an international luxury lifestyle brand that celebrates and empowers women over 40, the documentary showcased a star-studded ensemble of 10 fashion designers, 10 models, and 10 animal rescues in a spectacular show.

ELYSIAN Publisher Karen Floyd, who served as the film's executive producer, expressed her gratitude and pride in being considered for this prestigious award. She said, "For me personally, it validates ELYSIAN's ethos in connecting with more and more women across the globe. Women inspiring women."

The winners of the New York City International Fashion Film Festival will be announced during a gala event on September 7, following the festival on September 6 and 7.

CatWalk FurBaby collaborated with the BISSELL Pet Foundation to allocate grant money to the participating animal rescues. The foundation, with nearly 6,000 shelter and rescue partners, is dedicated to ending pet homelessness and finding loving homes for every pet. Cathy Bissell, founder of BISSELL Pet Foundation, expressed her excitement, saying, "We are thrilled the documentary was selected as a finalist in this year's New York City International Fashion Film Festival and hope it will do even more to spread the message that the best place to find your next pet is at your local animal shelter."

Dr. Christina Rahm, the visionary founder of DRC Ventures, was the event's title sponsor and co-producer of the film. Rahm walked the runway alongside her models, showcasing the environmentally conscious Enviremware line from Merci Dupre Clothiers. This cutting-edge nano-biotech skin-coating technology offers both luxury and protection against hazardous toxins.

CatWalk FurBaby is set to make a return to New York Fashion Week in the fall of 2024.
