Patricia Field and Lara Eurdolian Hosts Senior Dog Rescue Runway Show in honor of beloved children’s book character, and real-life Senior Rescue, Charlie King of Charlie at the Pom Springs Hotel, of which Field wrote the forward for and celebrates his 18th birthday this month.
Charlie King, the wonder senior rescue dog of owner Lara Eurdolian, is bringing together the dream team to raise awareness for senior rescues. Known for iconic looks from Carrie Bradshaw to Miranda Priestly and Emily Cooper, it was a natural fit for Patricia Field to help use her star power to dress adoptable rescues in one-of-a-kind pieces from her latest “Kiss the Dogs NYC” for Patricia Field ArtFashion collection.

Designed by James Suozzi, “Kiss the Dogs NYC” was originally created in 2013 for Patricia Field’s former Bowery Street Boutique. Suozzi also creates bespoke pieces and has been a part of Charlie’s life since his adoption, creating special pieces for him, most notably when Charlie walked his mom down the aisle in 2022.
The event also served as Charlie’s 18th birthday, who’s children’s book, Charlie at the Pom Springs Hotel, hit #1 new release on Amazon during its launch and has been making national headlines for his amazing story. “Charlie at the Pom Springs Hotel” actively supports animal adoption efforts, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to various shelters and welfare organizations.
Eurdolian wanted to celebrate this incredible milestone and create a memorable experience for guests that would also help shine a light on dog adoption and the joys of rescuing a senior at Flying Solo, 419 Broome St, which features independent fashion designers from around the world.
