She was wrestled out of a side door by security guards just before the next model arrived, dressed in a buttery leather bomber jacket paired with a high waisted culotte.

The parade continued, featuring long sheer skirts unzipped to the thighs, bright pink dresses and belted outerwear. When a third protestor suddenly appeared, the audience gasped.
