Are they meat or models? Lady Gaga's favourite designer seals women in vacuum-packed giant plastic bags for catwalk show


  • Quirky Dutch designer Iris Van Herpen closed fashion week in all its wacky glory
  • Vacuum-packed models into giant plastic bags and they remained motionless
  • People took to Instagram to ponder: Can they breathe?

From New York to Paris via London and Milan, fashion week was a celebration of all things weird and wonderful.
And ensuring that the fashion festivities went out with a bang, notoriously quirky Dutch designer Iris van Herpen's show in Paris last night closed fashion week in all its wacky glory.
While Karl Lagerfeld sent his models down a supermarket themed runway complete with trollies at Chanel and Stella McCartney saw Cara Delevingne and Joan Smalls skip down hers, Iris van Herpen may have just one-upped them all.

The eccentric designer, whose fans include Lady Gaga and Daphne Guinness, sent her models down the catwalk vacuum-packed in giant clear plastic bags.
The models, who were akin to quarantined aliens in the creepy display, remained motionless as fashion fans marveled the bizarre display.
 
Concerned and intrigued, the front row took to social media to ask the questions on everyone's lips: How can they breathe? Is it comfortable?
Others pointed out that the tubes in the bags may be used as a breathing aide (although some of the models remained eerily still in their foetal-like position the entire show).
What on earth will next season bring?
