Naomi Campbell rides a Lime e-bike through Paris traffic on Saturday 3 October, 'no riding skills what'so ever', wipes and sterile gloves first, in Sacai; Pride march road closures
Naomi Campbell's post went up at a quarter past seven on Saturday evening, Paris time, a video of her on a Lime e-bike in the traffic, captioned in Paris and tagged. The city had two reasons for gridlock that day: the Pride march, which closed roads through the Latin Quarter to Bastille, and a student protest movement that began in late September at a lycée in Créteil and has blockaded schools across France. Campbell's own charity, Fashion For Relief, was the subject of the ban a tribunal lifted on 1 October.
