Anti-fur group cream pies American Vogue's Wintour

PARIS (Reuters) - French anti-fur activists said they

struck Anna Wintour, editor of the U.S. edition of

Vogue, in the face with a cream pie on Saturday to

protest against her support for the use of animal fur

by the fashion industry.

 

Wintour, dressed in a fur-trimmed black jacket, was

hit in the face with a tofu cream pie as she left the

Chloe fashion ready-to-wear show at the Tuileries

Gardens in central Paris, members of the group People

for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said.

 

It was the second such attack this year on Wintour, an

unapologetic fur supporter decried by animal rights

groups as a " pelt pusher. "

 

" Wintour is fur-bearing animals' worst enemy because

her magazine continues to feature dozens of pags of

pro-fur editorials and advertising each year, " PETA

campaigner Yvonne Taylor told Reuters by phone in

Paris.

 

" She takes big glossy advertisements for fur and she

refuses to run any anti-fur ads, even paid ones, so

she's a big fur supporter, " Taylor said.

 

Wintour was unavailable for comment on the incident.
