Model removed from catwalk at Copenhagen Fashion Week for raising Palestinian flag
Model and musician Jura Indexspring was removed from a Copenhagen Fashion Week runway show after staging a protest for Palestine.
During a show for the Finnish brand Marimekko's Spring/Summer 2026 collection, Indexspring walked down the catwalk with a large Palestinian flag, which obscured the dress she was wearing.
The show took place at an industrial site near Copenhagen's harbor. Indexspring held a massive flag with the message "Act now against genocide" written on it.

After completing the initial part of her walk, she was escorted off the runway by security guards on the brand's orders. According to one report, some audience members shouted encouragement during the incident.
Following her removal, Indexspring posted a statement on Instagram. She wrote, "The thing is, we have no future without Palestine... If we accept that Israel will starve all of Palestine now, we accept that the world's rich will decide which minorities will be next for genocide".
Neither Marimekko nor Copenhagen Fashion Week has released a public statement regarding the incident.
