Anna Wintour‘s appearance and speech at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York was met with protesters from People from the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
The Vogue editor is known for her love of fur, and it’s comeback in fashion has been attributed to this.
The protesters held signs with Wintour’s face with taglines that read, “Fur Is Worn by Beautiful Animals and Ugly People,” as well as posters depicting animals being skinned for fur.
PETA’s vice president Tracy Reiman said, “We scoured photo agencies for the shot that most accurately reflects Wintour’s selfish, cruel nature, and although there were many candidates, this one summed it up best. Wintour is the perfect poster girl for one of the most hideous industries on the planet.”
“There’s always a way to wear fur,” Wintour has said. “Personally, I wear it on my back.”
