We are still trying to recover from the prank two Youtubers (Zac and Jay) played at London Fashion Week.
They decided to turn their friend into a fake model and dress him in the most bizarre outfits to get the attention of photographers, and it worked.
They got him to wear duct tape, hardware store safety glasses, fake lashes and fake Balenciaga sneakers.
According to Style, the fake model ended up on the second-row of the fashion show, rubbing shoulders with A-listers like reality TV star Jessica Woodley. What a hilarious genius prank!
