A runway gatecrasher in a clear garbage bag and pink shower cap turned a New York Fashion Week show into a viral clip before security pulled him offstage. (fox5ny.com) Multiple outlets identified the man as Fred Beyer, a 21-year-old YouTuber, and said the stunt happened during a Creators Inc. show at New York Fashion Week in September 2023. (timesnownews.com, indy100.com) Reports said Beyer walked the catwalk in a transparent bag with bright shorts underneath and reached the end of the runway before a security guard ran in and escorted him away. (indy100.com, freepressjournal.in) The clip spread again this week on X, where the repost cited in this story showed roughly 321,000 views and about 7,500 likes. The renewed circulation turned a 2023 prank into a fresh round of reaction posts in 2026. (x.com) The show itself sat inside the September 2023 New York Fashion Week calendar, which the Council of Fashion Designers of America said ran from September 8 through September 13 with more than 71 confirmed designers. (cfda.com) Creators Inc. had promoted its Bossi runway event for Saturday, September 9, 2023, in Manhattan, describing it as a New York Fashion Week show with a celebrity-heavy cast. (einnews.com) FOX 5 New York said Beyer was known for prank videos, and other coverage said he later posted footage explaining how he got into the venue by blending in backstage before changing clothes. (fox5ny.com, boredpanda.com) The video’s staying power is its simplicity: one unscheduled walk, a few seconds of audience confusion, and a security takedown that lands just before the runway can move on.
