Chennai Model Wears "Live Fish" During Ramp Walk, Slammed Online

Fashion shows across the world keep coming up with something innovative and sometimes even bizarre that amazes people. Likewise, a French brand named Coperni presented the fashion industry with its most memorable and viral moment by spray-painting a dress on Bella Hadid.

In an effort to do something out of the box, a model wore “live fish” for a fashion show in Chennai and is now getting slammed for using an animal as a prop.

In the comments section, a user asked to stop using animals in everything. Another user asked what was wrong with people who cannot stop bothering living beings. A third user commented that so many fish cannot be kept in such a small space as they need proper oxygen. A fourth user called it cringe-worthy to use innocent animals just to look fashionable, while a fifth user said that they are getting short of brain cells, designs, and creativity and that they have to do this stupid shit to include animals and called it a worthless design to even look at.

In a message to those who are complaining about people not appreciating the model’s talent, a user remarked that the dress was indeed pretty on its own. However, it is the intense cruelty to fish that is causing so many people to be disappointed.
