Not to take away from the value of their efforts, but it's pretty amusing to see the ongoing battle between PETA and the fashion industry. We've recently seen French Vogue flip PETA the finger, now it's time for PETA to strike back, and they did at the Donna Karan DKNY 20th anniversary show.
In addition to shouts of "Stop the insanity! No blood for vanity!" and "D-K-N-Y! How many animals have to die!" at the show's tent, two female PETA activists made it to the show's runway with signs that read, "Donna Dump Fur."
I am patiently awaiting the next episode in the drama...
