When a prankster wearing a trash bag and shower cap strutted on a runway at an event held during New York fashion week, audience members barely seemed to notice he was an intruder.
The unidentified man wore a torn trash bag and a printed shower cap while participating in the show without authorization, the Telegraph reported.
Under his get-up, the faux fashionista wore sneakers and salmon-colored shorts.
As seen in viral video, the prankster casually glances over his shoulder before walking down the runway to Kanye West’s All of the Lights. Partway through his walk, security forcefully escorts the man from the runway, as audience members gasp.
Reaction was mixed on social media, with some pointing out how onlookers were not suspicious at first.
“Perfect example of how ridiculous these shows are that everyone thought this outfit actually belonged on the catwalk,” wrote one Instagram user.
“[He] probably had one of the most normal fits in there,” another said.
“I swear these runway outfits get trashier every year,” another person quipped.
Creators Inc, the agency for social media influencers who hosted the fashion show, could not be immediately reached for comment.
The interruption was not the only unsanctioned catwalk during New York fashion week. Animal rights activists stormed a show by the Coach brand, CNN reported. Two demonstrators with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or Peta, interrupted the show to protest against the use of leather.
One held a sign reading “Coach: leather kills”, and walked with models before being removed. A second protester wore only underwear and body paint that depicted muscles and flesh, with the same message painted on front.
