Kylie Jenner creates a scandal at the Paris Fashion Show over the glorification of hunting trophies. On Monday, she was a guest at the Schiaparelli spring-summer collection haute couture show. Her lion head dress is also from this label.

For once, it was not the top models on the Paris Fashion Week catwalk that caused a stir, but multimillionaire Kylie Jenner (25) on the way to the Schiaparelli show. She wore a huge real-looking lion’s head from the couture label on top of her tailored black velvet robe.
The creation of Daniel Roseberry (38), also consisting of a snow leopard and a wolf’s head, provokes and causes more indignation than praise and recognition worldwide. He deliberately wanted to “blur the boundaries between the real and the unreal,” as the creative director writes. He was inspired by Dante’s “Inferno”.
The lion’s head causes indignation
The three animals in the “Divine Comedy” stand for lust, pride and greed. He wanted to stimulate thinking about doubts and deception. He also emphasizes that these are animal preparations that were made by hand from foam and wool. » The French fashion house assures on its Instagram page: “No animals were harmed in the production of this look.”
But the lion’s head looks real and therefore annoys many, even if it was artificially produced. It was “tasteless and conveyed the wrong message,” according to the reactions online. “Stop promoting animal cruelty,” wrote a user on Kylie Jenner’s Instagram picture.
Peta is happy about the collection
Peta, one of the largest animal rights organizations in the world, is delighted with the collection. “The outfit celebrates the beauty of the lions and is possibly a statement against trophy hunting, in which lion families are torn apart to satisfy human selfishness,” says President Ingrid Newkirk (73) on the online site “TMZ”.
Susy Utzinger finds it perverse
The Swiss animal rights activist Susy Utzinger (53) sees it differently. «The lion head is perverted. Kylie Jenner has done what other stars are unfortunately doing at the moment: attracting attention with animal suffering. The media is full of the image of a woman carrying the head of a dead animal on her shoulders,” said Utzinger. She demands: “Anyone who makes such an appearance and wants to do something good with it, must communicate this clearly.” The Zurich resident sees something positive: “Thanks to her dubious appearance, we can now talk about a sad topic that hardly anyone else is interested in: trophy hunting for lions and other exotic animals for the sheer pleasure of killing. This is not a relic of past centuries, it is still happening. Hunting tourism is booming.”
