It's 2018 and fake pubes are about to be all the rage. We're calling it RN. The Evidence? All you need to do is hazard a casual glance at the runways of New York Fasion Week, where vajayay wigs have stolen the show.

Yes friends, the humble merkin is back in a big way thanks to designer Alexander Wang, who sent a bunch of models down the catwalk flaunting faux fanny fluff as part of his new cyber-punk collection, Kaimin.

 

A post shared by KAIMIN (@kaiminofficial) on Feb 15, 2018 at 10:05am PST

The merkin has a proud history dating all the way back to the 15th Century, where it was less of a fashion accessory than it was, shall we say, a logistical tool for professional hookers.

According to Wikipedia. sex workers would use vag wigs as protection against pubic lice or to disguise symptoms of other sexually transmitted diseases like syphilis.

However, according to a press statement, Wang has now revived the old school beaver pelts to “assist irregular silhouettes and to bridge the gap of hard versus soft“ (probably still useful against crabs though)

 

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ KAIMIN 18FW: "Oriental Garden – Utopian Discord” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ LOOK 10 @jeanaturner photographed by @hellemoos ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Helping to realize KAIMIN’s concept on the runway were @ryburk, leading the makeup artists of @kreativekommune, and the hair stylists from @premahair, led by @daledela in collaboration with @charlielemindu, using @anti.collective hair products. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Overall stylistic concept of the show's looks was directed by @kurt__johnson Stylist @jessicabobince ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Live musical performance by @ianisiah Artistic visual direction by @jon_jacobsen Live conceptual synthesizer composition by @gavinrayna (@lcdsoundsystem) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Special thanks to @chrishabana @myenemyjewelry @kiragoodeyfootwear and to everyone who supported the show ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #kaiminfashion #kaimin #kaiminofficial #nyfw #nyfw2018 #OrientalGarden #UtopianDiscord
