Fur furore
Monday November 05 2007
MODEL Sophie Dahl needed all her catwalk composure yesterday when she was surrounded by a group of anti-fur protesters.
The 30-year-old, who has been photographed in the past wearing mink and white fox, was jeered and jostled as she left the Merrion Hotel in Dublin.
Sophie appeared unfazed, but the incident clearly left her shaken and by the time she arrived at a book-signing she refused to greet fans.
After composing herself in Dubray Books on Dublin's Grafton Street, Dahl posed for press photographs but declined to have photos taken with fans in the shop.
The model was in Dublin to sign copies of her new book 'Playing With The Grown-Ups'.
