Spring-Summer 2023 Haute Couture Fashion Week opened this Monday in Paris.

The animal defense association Peta took the opportunity to denounce the use of fake life-size animal heads on the dresses of the Schiaparelli house.

Models Naomi Campbell, with a wolf's head on her shoulder integrated into the coat, or Irina Shayk, with a lion's head concealing her upper body, walked the catwalk at the Petit Palais, while American reality star Kylie Jenner, in the front row, also adorned with a lion's head, drew the crackle of flashes upon her.


🚨 @Schiaparelli, @kyliejenner, @naomicampbell, & @theirishayk must extend this creativity to be 100% vegan & exclude sheep shorn bloody for wool & silkworms boiled alive for silk!

Dresses that “glorify trophy hunting”

"Schiaparelli's claim that 'no animals were harmed' in the making of this collection is objectively false," Peta criticizes in a statement.

Peta criticized that these dresses "glorify trophy hunting" and also denounced the use of silk and wool, materials for which "silkworms were scalded alive and sheep were exploited for their fleeces". .



Daniel Roseberry, American artistic director of the house with a surreal aesthetic, explained in the parade notes that these creations of faux taxidermy from resin and other artificial materials embodied "Dante's circles of hell".

“The leopard, lion and wolf represent lust, pride and avarice respectively,” he said.
