CFDA CEO Steven Kolb Resigns After Viral Video Shows Him Restraining PETA Protesters at NYFW
Steven Kolb, the CEO and president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA), has resigned after 20 years of leadership. His departure follows a viral incident during New York Fashion Week where he physically restrained two PETA protesters at a COS runway show. The CFDA board initially placed him on leave, but he stepped down on Friday, citing the need for a new chapter for the organization. The incident sparked widespread debate in the fashion industry regarding security, protest rights, and animal welfare.
