BURBERRY FASHION SHOW WRECKED BY ANTI-FUR PROTESTORS
British fashion house BURBERRY's Milan Fashion Week show in Italy last night (25SEP06) was wrecked by animal activists protesting the company's use of fur.
Three People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) activists stood holding 'Burberry: Fur Shame' placards and charged the runway at the glitzy fashion show, disrupting the invitation-only event, which featured BRYAN FERRY's son OTIS among the models.
The protestors were quickly escorted out of the show and released.
Ironically, one of the attendees at the show was Vogue editor ANNA WINTOUR, who has been a longtime PETA target.
A PETA spokesman says, "We have met with Burberry executives and screened a video that shows graphic footage of animals who are suffering on fur farms and in traps.
"But, unlike a growing number of fashion companies that are fur-free, Burberry continues to sell real fur. This is unacceptable."
