The Dior’s Paris Fashion Show this week was disrupted by a protester from the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who invaded the runway to protest the use of feathers in fashion. The PETA France activist Natasha Garnier, who hails from Bengaluru, walked along the runway wearing a faux-feather dress that made her back look like bloodied live-plucked skin. The action comes after Lady Gaga, an American singer-songwriter and actress, appeared at the Paris Olympics wearing a Dior dress made of ostrich feathers.
Reacting to the incident, Garnier, a special projects campaigner at PETA France, said, “Every item made from birds’ feathers represents almost unimaginable suffering. Around the globe, animals are denied the right to live free from harm for fashion – they’re beaten, skinned, and killed.” “By disrupting this show, we exposed the cruelty behind the glamour.
It’s time the world wakes up and chooses compassion over cruelty because no trend is worth an innocent life,” she added.
