In a disgusting display of arrogance last night, Jean-Paul Gaultier sent his models down the Paris Fashion Week catwalks wearing the heads of foxes. Yes, you read right – foxes’ heads. Among other furry items.

PETA’s managing director Ingrid Newkirk said: “I adore gay men, but this one must be so phobic of women that he fears even the skinny ones could bite his head off at any moment, so year after year he sticks teeth on their heads.” It certainly seems like he’s trying to make up for the fact he’s a has-been by going way over the top, but this far, really?

There are sooo many reasons why Gaultier and other designers shouldn’t be using fur, as seen in Stella McCartney’s video where foxes can be seen languishing in filthy, cramped fur farms.

Not cool Gaultier, not cool.

PETA’s grim reapers descended upon Paris Fashion Week today, dragging bloodied furs across the city centre. They called on heartless fashion designers to “bring out their dead” furs and urged shoppers to never buy the skins of tortured animals. The reapers reminded the public that whilst the spring and summer collections are being shown, animals are languishing on fur farms and awaiting a cruel fate because some designers continue to use fur.

Despite the rain (which actually gave a more sombre look to the demo considering its theme – sorry guys!), the protest was a huge success with lots of media coverage and a large activist presence. See the other exciting protests held in other cities for this season’s Fashion Week, including Milan and London.

Fur is dead – how true.
