Paris: A protester disrupted the Louis Vuitton fashion show in Paris on Tuesday by walking the catwalk with a banner condemning the impact of excessive consumption on the environment.
A Reuters witness said a woman representing the Amis de la Terre France, Youth for Climate and Extinction Rebellion marched the same path as the model, causing a stir in the audience.
In the front row, French cinema stars Catherine Deneuve and Isabel Huppert barely bowed, while some members of the Arnault clan, seated next to LVMH chief executive officer and president Bernard Arnault, looked at each other.
The protester was slammed to the ground amid security before being taken out.
The disruption barely interrupted the flow of models who charged the cobblestoned runways in the corridors of the Louvre to dramatic organ music punctuated with bell tolls.
The show itself had a punk flavor, with sleeves ripped from suit jackets, leaving arms bare, and accessories that included studded boots and chainmail headpieces.
Amis de la Terre France said it targeted the LVMH-owned label to spotlight the issue of over-consumption.
Group spokeswoman Alma Dufour told Reuters: “LVMH is the world leader in luxury and has responsibility for the trends driving the textile industry to continually renew collections, rapidly innovate and produce more.”
