After AND the scandal with the insinuations of pedophilia in the Balenciaga campaign, many began to comment that fashion should reconsider its ethics

If Schiaparelli’s goal with the Spring-Summer 2023 collection was to cause a “craze”, then the goal was achieved.

The ultra-sheer dresses with life-sized wild animal heads unveiled yesterday at the start of Paris Haute Couture Week sparked a backlash from animal rights groups.

Naomi Campbell took to the catwalk with a wolf’s head embedded in her coat while lion heads dominated the bodices of dresses presented by Irina Shayk and Kylie Jenner.

The animal welfare organization PETA denounced the creations. of the fashion house.

“The Schiaparelli house’s assurance that ‘no animals were harmed’ in the creation of this collection is objectively false,” PETA commented in a statement it issued.

The animal welfare group points out that the dresses in question glorify the hunting of wild animals’ heads, while denouncing the use of silk and wool – materials for which “silkworms were scalded alive and sheep were exploited”.

Also, after the scandal with the insinuations of pedophilia in the Balenciaga campaign, many began to comment that fashion should reconsider its ethics.
