'I knew the Scouser in me was bound to come out eventually during fashion week'
8 year-old Hollie-May Saker was modelling for Nina Ricci when two topless activists with slogans written across their chests burst onto the stage screaming.
When one of the women grabbed her arm and tried to lift her skirt, Hollie lashed out before continuing her walk.
Speaking after to show, 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 wish I’d pushed them both off the stage because they ruined my favourite show'
'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.'
Recalling the incident, Hollie said: 'I was the 19th girl out of the catwalk and I could hear screaming behind me,
'The next thing I just saw half-naked women with black marker pen scrawled across their bare chests and that’s when she came at me.
'I was so angry but I carried on walking with a bit of sassiness’
'As she grabbed my arm she lifted my skirt exposing me – [so] 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.’
Hollie said she was ‘shaken up’ by what happened.
'I was really worried to come backstage but nobody said anything – I felt bad the moment it happened and I was very shaken up by it.'
The two activists were from Ukranian feminist group that is based in both Kiev and Paris.
With topless campaigns, the controversial group aim to ‘protect women’s rights [and attack] patriarchy, in all its forms: the dictatorship, the church, the sex industry.’
