The biggest shock of Paris’s spring-summer 2014 fashion shows came on the otherwise calm and gentle Nina Ricci catwalk, when two topless activists from protest group Femen crashed the podium.
Grabbing a startled model making her way down the catwalk, they screamed “fashion fascism,” with words decrying the sexualization of the modeling industry written in make-up. One had “Fashion dictaterror” scrawled on her naked torso, the other “Model don’t go to brothel.”
One British model, Liverpool-born Hollie-May Saker, was caught in the middle, with the protesters brushing against her lamé-and-lace skirt.
“The next thing I just see half-naked women with black marker pen scrawled across their bare chests and that’s when she came at me….As she grabbed my arm she lifted my skirt exposing me – I pulled my arm back with such force that I landed a punch square on her nose,” Saker told the Echo.

i hate Femen
It’s sad because their dumb asses could literally get the jobs within that industry and they don’t even see the fucking racialized components of anything and.. ugh femen is stupid.
these fucking assholes. jesus fucking christ.
um im sorry but did that say they lifted up the skirt of a model to expose her? in front of everyone??
you don’t. assault. innocent. people. to make. your point.
sexual assaut/assault is NOT liberation from the patriarchy
femen is disgusting
they violently and forcibly exposed a woman against her will
they are complicit in the patriarchy and sexual assault of women
they should be in jail
“go to brothel” eh? By the way they just forcibly exposed a woman against her will, I would bet the brothel is run by them
these women HATE other women… they do not defend them
THEY HATE THEM
they full of shit.
