Everyday, the boundaries of fashion are pushed even further — and Paris Fashion Week is no exception from that.
On Sunday March 9, a male model named Chandler Frye strutted confidently through the Palais de Tokyo room as onlookers watched, wearing black pants and a cropped top that bore a striking resemblance to a woman’s bare chest.
Courtesy of creator Duran Lantink, the outfit — if it can be called that — was a starking departure from his usual collection of animal prints and bold shapes, which were always featured throughout the show.

But it’s undeniable: Lantink did a good job at making sure the top blended in with his skin tone as seamlessly as possible and upon quick glance, people may actually think the two fake breasts attached were actually his.
Elle Magazine fashion director joked, “D cup envy,” as they posted the unique outfit online.
Fashion influencer Olga Lebanon also asked, “I need one. How to order?”
Social media users, however, weren’t exactly as eager. It was certainly jaw-dropping… but not exactly in a good way.
“Nobody in real life wears anyone of this,” one critic wrote. “Designers just throw anything together and call it fashion. Example the first model wtf.”

“I’m so tired of nudity being a statement in fashion and music,” someone added. “It’s so boring.”
A third chimed in, “I studied for fashion design and I still don’t understand why designers do design this kind of work.”
Comments on TikTok poked fun at the situation, confused on how not a single member of the audience broke into a smile.

“Id be fighting for my life in that room!!” one person laughed. “Why is noone cracking up!”
“He needs an award for having a poker face,” someone commended, referencing Frye.
“You can’t imagine my face right now,” another wrote.
A netizen said, “Bianca Censori what are you doin here?” remembering the many times the architect has gone out in public in very revealing clothing.

Shockingly enough, Faye’s bold fit had a counterpart as Argentinian model Mica Arganaraz wore a full-length short that looked exactly like a man’s torso.
She, similarly, walked confidently and straight-faced into the room.
