Woman crashes the runway at Chanel's Paris Fashion Week show

A woman has crashed the runway during Chanel's spring/summer 2020 show at Paris Fashion Week.

During the finale of creative director Virginie Viard's first ready-to-wear collection, a woman jumped up onto the catwalk and joined the likes of Gigi Hadid and Kaia Gerber on the runway.

The gatecrasher, who has been identified as comedian Marie S’Infiltre, wore a black and white Chanel-style tweed suit and hat. After sashaying down the runway, the interloper was blocked by Hadid, who took the YouTube personality by the shoulder and firmly, but politely, escorted her off the stage.

Chanel president Bruno Pavlovsky was seen laughing when he realised what had happened. Gigi Hadid was however, as the below video demonstrates, less amused by the stunt.

Marie S’Infiltre had probably been seated in one of the further back rows in the Grand Palais, from where she ran forward to jump on stage. Getting in would, however, not have been easy, as entry to a Chanel show always requires a formal ticket and also ID.
