Femen Activist at Nina Ricci Show
The Ukranian feminist group with fairly naked protest tactics targeted Nina Ricci Show at Paris fashion week SS2014. Grabbing a startled model Hollie-May Saker and making their way down the catwalk, they screamed “fashion fascism,” with words decrying the sexualization of the modeling industry written in make-up across their naked torsos.
It’s unclear what exactly FEMEN is protesting at fashion week, or what it has to do with being topless. The organization’s site describes FEMEN as a global women’s movement, which aims to attack patriarchy in all forms, protect women’s rights, and promote action by…being topless.
