Victoria Beckham’s fashion show disrupted by Peta
Victoria Beckham’s highly anticipated fashion show at New York Fashion Week was disrupted by members of the animal rights group Peta. The show, which was set to showcase Beckham’s newest collection, was interrupted by protesters who stormed the runway holding signs that read “Cruelty is not fashionable” and “Fur is murder”.
Beckham, known for her sleek and sophisticated designs, has come under fire from animal rights activists in the past for her use of fur in her collections. Peta has been a vocal critic of the fashion industry’s use of fur and has staged similar protests at other designer shows in the past.
Despite the disruption, Beckham’s show went on as planned, with models continuing down the runway in her signature tailored pieces. In response to the protest, Beckham released a statement saying that she respects Peta’s passion for animal rights but stands by her decision to use fur in her collections.
It remains to be seen how this incident will impact Beckham’s brand and reputation in the fashion industry, but one thing is for certain: Peta is not backing down in their fight against the use of fur in fashion.
