Crashing Donna Karan's Party September 9, 2008

Posted by Pulin Modi | Permalink | Comments ( 11 ) | TrackBack

When fashion designer Donna Karan unveiled her spring 2009 DKNY collection this Sunday at New York's Fashion Week, PETA was there with a protest outside and a bit of a surprise inside.


Some of my friends took over Donna Karan's runway show armed with signs that read, "Donna: Dump Fur," and chanting, "Shame!" Check out a photo and read some more here.

They were protesting because Karan used rabbit fur in her collection that is in stores now—despite her promise to stop using fur. The two protesters were quickly taken from the catwalk and arrested, but their message was almost impossible to ignore.

Is Donna Karan living in the Ice Age? Geez! Drop the fur, Donna! You're not trying to dress cave people.

Donna Karan = Dumb K

How can anyone think there's profit or success in selling real fur? Another case of a brutal act that rich people do to be disgusting because they're afraid of changing.

Fur is so cruel; and besides it is definitely not a fashion statement. It makes people look fat and ugly.

Donna is so mean. Poor animals. She should be arrested for animal cruelty!

Donna Karan sucks.
She might aswell have her models strutting around with live rabbits in their hands, then have them tear the heads off with their bare hands, then peel the skins off and sling it over their shoulders there and then.
It would be a bit like Robbie Williams' rock dj vid... but more depraved.
