Manhattan is boasting a number of fashion shows this week, including Mercedes-Benz and Rag & Bones runway shows featuring celebrities in attendance such as Joe Jonas and Carrie Underwood.

Nepalese American fashion-designer Prabal Gurung's Fall 2014 fashion show at New York Fashion Week this Saturday was interrupted by a Ukranian prankster, Vitalii Sediuk, wearing a gold crown, a leopard-print thong, red socks and a black coat, who is known for pulling stunts at major events such as crashing the Grammys in 2013 when Adele was on stage receiving her Best Pop Solo Performance award, for which he received a six-month jail sentence.

The girls who were walking the catwalk avoided him and he was chased off by security, with Gurung saying he was not fazed by the disruption, which might have brought even more attention to his line than it was intended.

Alex Wang was one designer whose line was promoted as being on the forefront of pushing the envelope and redesigning what is truly hip. "Fashion is always evolving and changing, so why not have a location change?" the designer commented. "With every kind of change there is opposition, but I think that's the exciting thing ... to keep the conversation new."

"For me it's part of the process," he said. "You want to create an experience. Clothes are clothes, at the end of the day. You're not reinventing the wheel there. So you want to be proposing an idea that entertains people -- and gets them to come out to Brooklyn in the cold. There are so many fashion shows on the calendar, it's important to create that individual moment between you and the audience.
