Peta attacks Julien MacDonald

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta) pelted Julien Macdonald and his muse Paris Hilton with flour on the opening night of his London Fashion Week catwalk show.The flamboyant designer was targeted as he arrived for a party with the hotel heiress after showing his fulfilled autumn and winter collection at the Natural History Museum.

Peta spokeswoman Yvonne Taylor said the group was aiming to embarrass fur-wearing Anna Wintour next in a high profile anti-fur campaign during London Fashion Week. Wintour, who is in London for the shows for the first time in three years, is to be target tomorrow when Peta will picket the restaurant where Vogue is holding a party hosted by Ms Wintour.

Taylor added: 'We are going to have a 5ft by 3ft photo of her looking her worst with the words "Fur: worn by beautiful animals and ugly people." The idea is to humiliate her in front of her guests.' Paris Hilton, on the other hand, managed to dodge the flour attack. Hilton showed off a silver-grey prom dress and a barely-there mini, but did not wear any fur, unlike other models in the show.
