New York Fashion Chief Quits After Physical Clash with Peta Activists Goes Viral The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has been rocked by the resignation of its chief executive, Steven Kolb, after two decades at the helm.
The controversy surrounding his departure centers on a video that emerged last week showing him physically restraining Peta activists during an altercation at a New York runway show.
The footage depicts Kolb using force to subdue two protesters who were attempting to disrupt the event. As the situation unfolded, Kolb can be seen putting his hands over their mouths, silencing them momentarily.
