PARIS (Reuters) For her spring summer runway show, Hermes designer Nadege Vanhee sent out a parade of mesh crop tops and calfskin coats in tan hues on Saturday, a lineup that was briefly interrupted by three animal rights activists...

The show was kicking off with a series of light, beige looks loose trousers, sheer tops and a suede coat cinched in the back when the first protestor from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) group burst on to the catwalk, wielding a sign calling for the label to stop using exotic skins...

She was wrestled out of a side door by security guards just before the next model arrived, dressed in a buttery leather bomber jacket paired with a high waisted culotte...

Security guards nabbed another protestor who jumped on the catwalk shortly after, rushing her out the same side door in time for the next look a sheer top in ivory that matched the models trousers and handbag...

It is not the first time PETA protestors have targeted the French label, known for its highly-coveted Birkin bags, with versions in exotic skins famous for fetching prices reaching as much as several hundred thousand dollars in auctions...
