During the fashion show of the American label organized in Manhattan on February 10, the animal models presented an extraordinary presentation, in which there is no shortage of bite.
“Please don’t eat my friends.” so called (with a message to the cause of animals) Hilary Teymur, artistic director of the Collina Strada brand during the Fall-Winter 2023-2024 show. On February 10, 421 Broadway Street was transformed into a pet store for people during New York Fashion Week. To illustrate the words of a designer particularly sensitive to environmental issues, models paraded around adorned with donkey ears, reptile heads or pig snouts. Each mimics the animal they embody.

Under the surprised and amused eyes of the guests, a model with make-up in the shape of a dog and “WOOF” embroidered on the cover jumped onto the podium on all fours while sniffing the feet of the audience. Another ran across the room, haystack in hand, horse’s muzzle to his face. The last, crowned with a hen’s coat of arms, flapped its wings in imitation of the beat of its wings. The unexpected show had a certain reaction on social media, which was picked up by many fashion commentators, such as Luke Meagher of the Hautelemode account (250,000 followers on Instagram).
This is not the first time Hillary Taymur has used the parade to spread messages. Already in 2019, the artistic director organized his spring-summer 2020 fashion show in the environment of an agricultural market to denounce the evil of overconsumption of food. With this new production, Colina Strada proves that she has really found her footing.
