"Closet" Kala from @TikatheIggy

Closet Kala

Kala is a four-year-old Italian greyhound from Montreal who got her start in fashion the way many little sisters do, by borrowing from her big sister’s closet. Her sister was Tika, the dog behind @tikatheiggy, where their dad, Thomas Shapiro, shared her outfits and imagined what she might have to say about them. Tika appeared in Vogue, walked the runway at Vancouver Fashion Week, and became a muse to Christian Siriano. When Kala joined the family in 2022, she joined Tika in front of the camera, too.

These days, Kala has the spotlight on @tikatheiggy. She made her New York Fashion Week debut in February 2026 and returned in September with a wardrobe inspired by the city, including vintage Chanel for the Upper East Side and a Halston look that paid homage to Studio 54. Back home in Montreal, the quickest way to get the nine-pound fashion girl out of a dress is to show her a dock she can jump off (in summer weather, of course).
