CAT-ASTROPHE!
Kylie clawed for fashion faux paws!
MAKEUP mogul Kylie Jenner and top models wore lion and other wildlife heads at design house Schiaparelli’s fancy-schmancy Paris fashion show, triggering a catty uproar from animal lovers who blasted the bizarre designs as “disturbing” creations “promoting trophy hunting.”
The Italian rag maker’s fake animal heads, made of foam and fabric, turned the models’ runway into a real catwalk as Kylie and Irina Shayk sported lion noggins and Naomi Campbell wore a wolf’s head.
British animal rights crusader Carrie Johnson, wife of England’s former prime minister Boris Johnson, slammed the display, calling it, “Grim! Real or fake this just promotes trophy hunting. Yuck!”
Schiaparelli clothed its designs in intellectual mumbojumbo calling them Inferno Couture, after the classic 1300s Renaissance book Dante’s Inferno, where the lion, shewolf and leopard represented lust, greed and pride.
While the design house insists “no animals were harmed in making this look,” the work was ripped to shreds for seeming links to brutal blood sports.
Still, Kylie, 25, boasted about the show, posting: “Thank you @schiaparelli for such a special morning. Wow I loved wearing this faux art creation constructed by hand using man-made materials.”
But fans blasted jaded Jenner on social media as “horrifying” and “ridiculous,” and branding the get-up “one of her worst fashion mistakes of all time.”
Writes one critic, “Why why why even imitate this. I’m thankful it’s faux but the imagery is still disturbing.”
Another says: “Why are you wearing animal’s head on your dress? Faux or not, it doesn’t make sense to me?”
A third notes: “Guess more Americans will be flocking to Africa now to get the latest wildlife accessories. Promoting hunting. As a South African, this is wrong on so many levels. The king of our jungle is not a fashion statement, like WTF.”
But the cat’s out of the bag!
