- Steven Kolb, the CEO of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, has apologised after physically restraining two PETA protesters at a New York Fashion Week show.
- Video footage showed Kolb grabbing one demonstrator's face and dragging another to the ground as they protested against animal cruelty in the wool industry.
- The CFDA confirmed that Kolb has been placed on leave pending a review into the incident, a move he described as voluntary while seeking professional guidance.
- Kolb took full responsibility for his actions, admitting there was no justification for physically restraining anyone and that security should have handled the situation.
- He has accepted an invitation to meet with PETA to discuss their concerns and expressed his desire to apologise directly to the two activists involved.
