These days, dogs want to be in fashion, too.

Japan's first New Year Dog Party kicked off at Tokyo Big Sight on Saturday, featuring a variety of activities and booths ranging from photo sessions, dog yoga, and speed-eating contests to stores for visitors and their furry friends.

The two-day event is also hosting Pet Fashion Week NY, the annual New York City trade show that began in 2006 as an event for people in the pet industry.
