Fendi Fashion Show A Flop Show ?

Posted on December 7th, 2011 by Hannah Marion | Tags: Fashion Show


Two totally different worlds unfolded in the Banpo area in southern Seoul on Thursday night for the famous fashion show.
On the Floating Island on the Han River, the venue of FENDIs fashion show, about 1,000 guests were present there enjoying and chilling with cocktails.
Just a few hundred meters away in Hangang Park, about 200 animal rights activists angrily chanted “No Fur! No FENDI!”
When performers hired by FENDI banged on drums to spice up the after-party, the activists across the bridge increased the volume of the video featuring animals shrieking as they were skinned alive.

Many models from Hong Kong, China and Japan, including Zhang Ziyi and Hana Matsushima, were seen at the show but Korean celebrities were nowhere to be seen. Several celebrities, including singer Lee Hyo-ri, had voiced opinions against the event by retweeting mentions of the harm in wearing fur. There were no Korean celebrities,which means they knew that the public sentiment was. Park So-yeon, the head of Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth which led the protest, told The Korea Herald ” I am hoping that they will make less appearances in fur items from now on”.
