Protesters stormed onto the stage at Victoria Beckham's show during a major fashion event. The pop star's show at Paris Fashion Week was severly disrupted by activists who climbed onto the runway and help up signs.
They were removed before the show continued, with the former Spice Girl appearing at the end of the show on crutches. The protesters were from animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), who walked the runway alongside the models while holding up signs saying "viva vegan leather".
Their T-shirts read: "Animals aren't fabric. Turn your back on animals skins." The non-profit organisation's president for Europe, Mimi Bekhechi, said: "No garment or accessory is worth violently slaughtering and skinning a sensitive and intelligent animal.
We are urging Victoria Beckham to turn instead to the ethical and eco-friendly innovations available today, such as high-end leather made from apples, grapes, pineapples, mushrooms and more." Peta said it had also stormed the catwalks of Coach in New York, Burberry in London, and Fendi in Milan this season.
