Proving that clothing is well & truly optional for spring/summer 2018, a New York City-based brand has sent a totally starkers model down the catwalk.

The eye-catching woman showed off her lithe & toned physique by whipping off her black & navy larger-than-life cape to show her entirely naked body below & her vagina in full view.

While the nude move is one of the most awful things to happen in this season's New York Fashion Week, it is not an wholly original idea.

Just in August Danish designer Nicholas Nybro shocked with a naked show at Copenhagen Fashion Week.

Model Teyana Taylor risked a grave wardrobe malfunction as she walked the runway in skimpy blue PVC one-piece.
