Topless FEMEN protesters crash runway show at Paris Fashion Week

Two members of the Ukrainian feminist group FEMEN crashed a runway show at Paris Fashion Week on Thursday, briefly disrupting proceedings before security dragged the two topless women away. The pair stormed the runway at the Nina Ricci show with slogans “fashion dictaterror” and “fahion fascism” painted on their bodies. The models, for what it’s worth, managed to ignore the party-crashers. In a statement on the activist group’s Facebook page, FEMEN said the stunt was meant to “condemn the anti human industry of fashion.” FEMEN crashes Paris Fashion Week 10 >>>

According to model she took a swing after runway invasion We all knew the fashion industry was cut-throat, but it seems things got a little out of hand at Paris Fashion Week after two topless protestors from group FEMEN invaded the Nina Ricci show on Friday, with British model Hollie-May Saker claiming to have taken a swing for the girls after they interrupted her walk. The two blonde protestors from Ukrainian feminist protest group, FEMEN, were wrestled to the ground by security after running onto the runway with slogans >>>

Ukrainian Topless Protesters: What’s Their Message?

by Annie Gabillet 0 There were many sheer looks yesterday at Nina Ricci's Spring 2014 show in Paris, but two uninvited women showed even more skin on the catwalk. Two topless women from Ukraine's FEMEN protest group ran on stage before one was punched by a model and they were escorted out by security. Shouting "fashion fascism" and apparently protesting the assumption that Ukrainian women are sex slaves, the pair managed to disrupt the show momentarily. FEMEN, founded in 2008, protests sex tourism, fashion, and even environmental causes. On Friday, a group of topless >>>

Model Tweets About Punching Topless Fashion Show Protesters

Thursday afternoon’s Nina Ricci spring 2014 runway show in Paris was interrupted by a topless pair of activists from Ukrainian feminist group FEMEN. Wearing black skinny jeans and Converse sneakers the half-naked duo each had a slogan painted on their chests. One read: “FASHION DICTATERROR.” And the other: “MODELS DON’T GO TO BROTHELS.” This was probably a play on FEMEN’s “UKRAINE IS NOT A BROTHEL” slogan, but overall it was somewhat unclear what the group was protesting. Here's some NSFW footage of the invasion: Both ladies posed and yelled triumphantly in front >>>

Topless protesters crash runway show at Paris Fashion Week

Two topless protesters caused a scene at Paris Fashion Week in France on Thursday when they jumped on the runway during the Nina Ricci show.

Members of Femen have previously targeted a Versace runway show over claims the >>>

Femen protester on catwalk punched by model

Ukrainian feminist activist group Femen have continued their topless protests with an appearance at Nina Ricci’s show at Paris Fashion Week. Jumping onto the runway with ‘Model don’t go to brothel’ and ‘Fashion dictaterror’ painted across their chests, it was slightly unclear what the women were protesting against or why. However, it wouldn’t be the first time that they had merely taken issue with ‘the status quo’ (arguably a refreshing stance.) The model who they attempted to involve in their protest, Hollie-May Saker, demonstrated >>>

Topless FEMEN Protesters Crash Nina Ricci Runway

Another Fashion Week, another topless protest from FEMEN, Ukraine's band of boobs-out feminist activists. After years of trying, two FEMEN members actually made it onto a Paris Fashion Week runway, storming the catwalk at Nina Ricci's Spring 2014 show. Shouting "fashion fascism" the two FEMEN protestors disrobed at Paris's Tuileries gardens, and hopped into the middle of Ricci's show. The women had the slogans "model don't go to brothel" scrawled across their bodies — written to reject the notion of Ukrainian women being sex slaves or prostitutes. After making a brief jaunt down the runway, >>>

PFW: Topless Feminists Crash the Nina Ricci Catwalk

by Lauren Valenti | 3:52 pm, September 26th, 2013   It’s going to take more than two topless protestors storming a Paris Fashion Week runway to faze the front row. Instead of jaws dropping to the floor when Ukranian feminist group FEMEN crashed Nina Ricci’s spring runway earlier today, industry old timers like Suzy Menkes didn’t bat an eyelash at the intrusion (see photo below). Time is of the essence during fashion month, and storied editors such as Menkes have seen such charades >>>
