The Chanel show in England turned into a scandal: why it prompted people to go to a pro-Palestinian rally

On December 7, Manchester, England, hosted a Chanel show. The French fashion house presented its Métiers d'art 2023/24 collection in an unusual location - right in the middle of the city street. The roadway served as a catwalk for the models, and the guests of the fashion event, including many world stars, sat on both sides.

However, this creative idea turned into a scandal for the luxury brand. Residents of Manchester were unhappy that the road was blocked and a number of restrictions were imposed. This was reported by the Daily Mail.

Yes, the screening took place on Thomas Street in the city's Northern Quarter. Shops, cafes, and bars lining both sides of the street served as a backdrop.

A tall plexiglass canopy was specially built over the road because it was raining in the city, so we had to protect the models and visitors from the unwanted prospect of getting wet.

In addition to the fact that the road was blocked for a month for a fashion event, people living in the area were also banned from going out on balconies and ordered to turn off the lights. The people did not want to put up with the restrictions, so they staged a kind of revolt. In particular, local residents went to a pro-Palestinian rally at the moment when models in luxurious tweed outfits were walking on an improvised catwalk.

As noted in the source, people chanted slogans in defense of Palestine and waved flags, calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.

Moreover, disgruntled residents of Manchester organized a karaoke party. They went to one of the bars and started singing loudly, ignoring the calls of the police to be quieter.
