Breast in show!
One designer courted controversy at Paris Fashion Week with a revealing show that left audience members and online observers in shock.
Duran Lantink debuted his fall 2025 “Duranimal” collection at the Palais de Tokyo room on Sunday — opening and closing the event with gender-bending tops that made the models appear as if naked.

The Dutch designer’s ready-to-wear collection features bold animal prints and striking silhouettes, but one boob-iful top had everyone’s attention.
A tank top worn by a male model that resembled a woman’s bare chest — complete with bouncing, realistic-looking size DD prosthetic boobs was the pièce de résistance.
The not-so-bitesized bit of risqué business closed the show — and kept people talking and ogling long after it ended.
Chandler Frye jiggled along the runway in the crop top, which nearly matched his skin tone, creating the illusion that he was walking around topless — showing off a bouncing large pair of breasts.

But Lantink didn’t just want people admiring the female form — in a clever tit-for-tat, also shown was a women’s shirt made to look like a man’s chest.
Female model Mica Argañaraz marched down the catwalk wearing the full-length t-shirt, which also nearly matched her skin tone, making it appear as if she was sporting a prosthetic, chiseled chest of a muscular man.

Spectators were visibly shocked and amused the moment the male model wearing the scandalous top appeared on the office floor set — which featured models walking around a maze of cubicles filled with headset-wearing workers shuffling and stapling papers throughout the show.
“D cup envy,” Alex White, fashion director of Elle Magazine, joked sharing a video of the boob top on Instagram.
However, not everyone was as amused. “How is this fashion??” someone questioned, while another commented “I’m done…” amid all the laughing, crying emojis filling the comments.
In response to a an uncensored video of the look posted by Dazed, many people turned to the comments section to express their disapproval of the top.
“Women’s bodies are not costumes!” someone wrote.
“This is not okay. This is called objectification of the female body. Just so the audience will watch. This is not fashion!!!!!!” another noted.
“Oh but if I do it, it’s public indecency,” a female commented.
However, Lantink defended to Women’s Wear Daily, “It’s about cosplay, it’s playing with bad taste, it’s about form. Every season, we’re trying to sort of surprise ourselves with how can we change an original piece into something that we find interesting.”
“And we’re gonna do whatever the f—k we want because we’re free,” he added.
The award-winning designer, 37, is known for his “unconventional approach to fashion” and “ability to sculpt bold volumes” and “striking, unexpected silhouettes,” according to the Fashion Network — skills he certainly showed off in Paris over the weekend.
