PETA says it plans meeting with fashion executive who restrained protesters at NY Fashion Week

PETA, a prominent animal rights group, is planning to meet with Steven Kolb, a top fashion executive, following an incident at New York Fashion Week. The meeting aims to discuss ending the use of wool and animal skins in clothing. Kolb, who was filmed physically restraining two PETA employees during an altercation at a runway show, has apologized and is currently on leave pending an investigation.

PETA initially planned to file a police report against Kolb, but decided to seek a meeting after consulting with attorneys. The incident, captured on video during a Cos brand runway show, drew widespread attention.
