Then they stage a shocking and hilarious fashion show at the opening of Berlin Fashion Week that makes the world pay attention to labor and environmental abuses that the mega-brand is trying to hide. This video documents a brilliant “performance-intervention”. A fake fashion show during fashionweek in NYC that fools all the fashionistas.
