PARIS (Reuters) - A woman holding a banner reading "We are all fashion victims" infiltrated the catwalk at Christian Dior's show in Paris on Tuesday - walking the runway so calmly that it appeared at first to be part of the event.

The protester was acting in the name of Extinction Rebellion, an activist movement that aims to highlight the risks posed by climate change. The act was meant to denounce "the impact of the fashion industry on the environment and society", a spokesman for the movement in France said.
