PETA says it plans meeting with fashion executive who restrained protesters at NY Fashion Week – WTOP News
- On Sunday, Council of Fashion Designers of America CEO Steven Kolb was filmed physically restraining two protesters during a runway show for Cos in New York, an incident that stunned the fashion world.
- Video shows Kolb covering the mouths of Andrija Barak and Mason Melito while restraining them with his arms and legs, as the two were among six employees present to disrupt the show.
- Moira Colley, senior director of media relations for PETA, said Tuesday the group initially planned to file a police report against Kolb but changed course after consulting with attorneys.
- Kolb has apologized for his actions and is taking a leave from his CFDA role pending an investigation, though he has agreed to meet with the organization.
- Advocates intend to show Kolb footage of sheep mistreatment to argue for ending wool use, hoping he will repeat his previous success in banning fur from runway shows.
