He went shirtless underneath the plastic and completed the outlandish look with a pair of bright coral shorts and white trainers.

The YouTuber looked warily over his shoulder as he took to the catwalk but when he realised no one had noticed his infiltration, he continued strutting his stuff.

The crowd watched on calmly, appearing to mistake him for another model despite his odd get-up.

But just as he was making it towards the end of the runway Fred looked over his shoulder again and this time was met with a terrifying sight.

A huge security guard dressed all in black started charging at the prankster, who attempted to run away after spotting him.

The guard quickly grabbed him

His previous debauchery for the video platform has seen him "aggressively farting on strangers", sucking people's toes while they were getting a pedicure and pranking police officers by pretending to drink drive and pull fire alarms.

The YouTuber confirmed the NYFW disruption was his latest prank as he posted a picture of the incident to his Instagram story and announced there was a "banger dropping" at 5pm Eastern Standard Time.

Fred isn't the only person who's successfully crashed a show at this year's NYFW, which started on September 8 and comes to a close on Wednesday (September 13).

Fred was dragged out of the event

The opening day of the highly-anticipated fashion even saw PETA members interrupting Coach's runway show in protest over the brand's use of leather.

One of the protesters crashed the stage naked apart from bodypaint making it look like she'd been "skinned" with the words "Coach: Leather Kills" emblazoned across her chest.

Another protester followed behind her holding up a sign with the same phrase.

PETA said the purpose of the stunt was to "slam the brand for its cruelty to cows and its reliance on environmentally destructive leather products".
