From Breitbart: Fashion designer Willy Chavarria paid tribute to ICE deportees being held in prisons abroad as a theme for his Paris Fashion Week show, with models taking to the runway dressed as prisoners while mimicking a backdrop provided by El Salvador’s high-security CECOT prison.
According to Bazaar magazine, Chavarria sent physical invitations to his Spring 2026 show formatted like an immigration summons used before violent illegal aliens are deported.
“Open immediately,” the envelope read. But on its unfolding, a letter certified the addressee’s inalienable “Right to Exist,” summoning guests to appear for a “Presentation of Humanity.”
To back up the link to ICE deportations as somehow doing the country a disservice, the LA Times reports on Friday, videos and photos began to circulate of show, in which 35 models appeared on the runway in the French capital that morning.
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele commented on a video of the dramatic stunt, writing, “We’re are ready to ship them all to Paris whenever we get the green light from the French government.”
