A Scouse supermodel tipped to be the next Kate Moss
punched a protester after she stormed the catwalk at
Paris Fashion Week.
Hollie-May Saker, from Anfield, was modelling for Nina
Ricci at a show in the French capital yesterday when
two half-naked protesters invaded the stage.
The 18-year-old told the Liverpool Echo it was one the
biggest shocks of her life and she could do nothing but
fight back against the woman who grabbed her.
She said: “I punched her – I didn’t mean to but she
grabbed my arm and I just wanted to get her off me.
“I was the 19th girl out of the catwalk and I could hear
screaming behind me.
“The next thing I just see half-naked women with black
marker pen scrawled across their bare chests and that’s
when she came at me.
“As she grabbed my arm she lifted my skirt exposing me
– I pulled my arm back with such force that I landed a
punch square on her nose.
“I was so angry but I knew I had to be professional so I
carried on walking with a bit of sassiness. My Scouseness
came out a bit but I wish it had come out a bit more.
Thinking about it now I wish I’d pushed them both off the
stage because they ruined my favourite show.
“I had been looking forward to the Nina Ricci show for so
long, whether I was modelling in it or not, it’s such a
beautiful collection.
“I was really worried to come back stage but nobody
said anything – I felt bad the moment it happened and I
was very shaken up by it.
“I think if it had happened two years ago I would have
run straight off the catwalk. It could have been worse, I
could have fallen over.”
Hollie, who started modelling at 16, added that this would
not put her off from taking to the catwalk once more.
“It was amazing but messed up. Things like this just make
me feel so grateful, happy and grateful.
“I’ve worked so hard and deserve it, so hopefully I’ll get
some good karma. I’ve got to model for some great
designers and I can’t believe I got to walk for Burberry.
I’m so proud to be British and a Scouser.”
