The event was cosponsored by the Design Association NPO, United Media K.K.<br /><br />Bloggers, facebookers, twitterers and online mags are going crazy sharing the images of CHANEL and Hermes-clad Snoopy, but this isn't new news, or even new designs. Apparently, Snoopy doesn't wear things just once.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5gr90BzUVJUKjnj79RTOrsQ-fsosiQQ3nGTto_3GMtRlT2m-HXM9KYFetrIf7now8q5Ad7Ht12W57ShdKcYTl_oyS7aBRb4e80-nUSUowGyfGLBWDSavhF_evB2vjpL0Zg3WAbrQ7fUo1/s1600/chanelsnoops.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406701503295652994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5gr90BzUVJUKjnj79RTOrsQ-fsosiQQ3nGTto_3GMtRlT2m-HXM9KYFetrIf7now8q5Ad7Ht12W57ShdKcYTl_oyS7aBRb4e80-nUSUowGyfGLBWDSavhF_evB2vjpL0Zg3WAbrQ7fUo1/s400/chanelsnoops.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 532px; height: 694px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >above: The CHANEL Snoopy and Belle at the 2004 Snoopy In Fashion show in Japan</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKkb7YZrh8xhBjR0LH_8UXpbGjfZj_RiQD1VAi4mBocYgHstkj0uqFsxDAZMGdTf3ptomeqvExIWdvwpiSjWq77c0w4UM_a7FX2ka8u-E_zDC4Uc9FT9zeV7uXc9oYtuar1A6JC_nNp53F/s1600/Picture+38.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406698758085907618" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKkb7YZrh8xhBjR0LH_8UXpbGjfZj_RiQD1VAi4mBocYgHstkj0uqFsxDAZMGdTf3ptomeqvExIWdvwpiSjWq77c0w4UM_a7FX2ka8u-E_zDC4Uc9FT9zeV7uXc9oYtuar1A6JC_nNp53F/s400/Picture+38.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 535px; height: 389px;" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-size:85%;" >above: the 2004 Snoopy In Fashion show in Japan</span><span style="font-size:85%;"><br /></span><br />What most people don't realize is these outfits for the beloved Peanuts® comics dog, Snoopy, and his sister, Belle, aren't new. In 2004 there was a large Snoopy In Fashion show in Japan where the CHANEL Snoopy and tons of others appeared.
