A Youtuber managed to get on stage at the prestigious New York Fashion Week, and strutted himself down the catwalk in a garbage bag.
New York Fashion Week is praised for its distinctive styles, latest collections, and now, surprise appearances on the runway. This year, the iconic event has been crashed by a YouTuber, Fred Beyer, who strutted the catwalk in an eccentric fashion ensemble crafted from a shower cap, swim shorts, and a plastic cape.
Considering the event’s reputation for showcasing bold, unique outfits, Beyer’s ‘festival raincoat look’ initially went unnoticed. He managed to bask in the applause and cheers from the crowd before security intervened.
Beyer not only gatecrashed NYFW but also revealed how he successfully bypassed security, all via his YouTube channel. With over 66,000 followers, Beyer aired his undercover journey into the fashion event. His tactics? Appearing serious in a suit and strategically busy on his phone.
Who knew the infamous runway crashing tradition, initiated in 2008 by noted actor Sacha Baron Cohen, would continue this strong in NYFW. Cohen’s surprise appearances shook up two runway shows while shooting his movie, “Bruno”. Just like Beyer, Cohen not only stole the show but also made international headlines.
From DIY garbage bag outfits to a stray cat strutting its stuff on the couture-rich runway, New York Fashion Week once again proves to be an unpredictable spectacle for all fashion enthusiasts.
In the end he was rushed by security, who seemed to even be laughing at the situation himself.
