Ahead of the Paris Olympic Games, anti-cruelty messages have been projected onto the city’s famous landmarks to protest LVMH’s use of exotic skins and fur.

In the lead-up to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, animal rights activists have displayed anti-cruelty messages across the city to protest against LVMH, one of the event's partners.

Known for its numerous high-end brands, LVMH has faced criticism for its use of animal-derived materials such as fur and exotic skins.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) France projected a video across some of the city’s iconic landmarks - including the Eiffel Tower, Place Vendôme, and the Futur Hôtel Louis Vuitton on the Champs-Élysées.

The demonstration happened during the Vogue World fashion event on Sunday attended by celebrities and fashion designers, including Pharrell Williams, men’s creative director for LVMH-owned brand Louis Vuitton.

The projection features the message “Louis Vuitton: Drop Exotic Skins”, a parody of the official Olympic mascot, and the organization’s graphic undercover investigation footage of humans slaughtering crocodiles for their skin.
