Story by Drue Robertson. With the Academy Zoowards just hours away, celebrities are experiencing fashion meltdowns--literally! (Rhinoana's cotton-candy dress disintegrates.) With a promotion at Cover magazine on the line, fashion assistant giraffe Mitford uses creativity to save the day. This slight, cheeky follow-up to Mitford at the Fashion Zoo continues to pander to celeb-obsessed adults rather than its intended audience, who will nevertheless appreciate the silly, sketchlike mixed-media illustrations.

Story by Kimberly Gieske. It's a dream come true when giraffe Mitford is hired to help fashion editor Panda Summers during NY Fashion Zoo Week. Mitford's (sometimes accidental) creative solutions help designers, such as Zap Possum, solve fashion emergencies. This entertaining parody will be most appreciated by fashion-savvy adults, but the scribbly, stylish mixed-media illustrations that made Mitford an internet sensation have some child-appeal.
