Male models flaunt ‘pregnant’ bellies on the runway

No one was expecting this new menswear trend.

Last weekend Chinese designer Xander Zhou sent male models down the London fashion week men’s runway with an unusual accessory: prosthetic pregnancy bellies.

Their bizarro bumps were highlighted by equally wacky fashions, including a baby pink tracksuit with a matching towel flung around one model’s neck. Another catwalker’s cropped T-shirt read “New World Baby.”

Confused? Don’t look to the brand’s Instagram page for clarification. “At Supernatural, Extraterrestrial & Co., we’re prepared to welcome a future of male pregnancy,” says one post. Hmm.

One thing’s for sure: Zhou one-upped cool-kid brand Eckhaus Latta, which made waves in September for sending a pregnant model down the runway with her belly exposed.
