South Sudanese Model Abuk Yurr Goes Viral After Carrying Two Men At Paris Fashion Show
By Joyce Sunny, FOREIGN DESK – South Sudanese model Abuk Yurr has sparked widespread attention online after making a dramatic appearance at Paris Fashion Week, where she walked the runway carrying two suited male figures across her shoulders.
Yurr reportedly closed the Spring/Summer 2027 show of avant-garde fashion label Matières Fécales (Fecal Matter) in a striking metallic-gold outfit that immediately caught the attention of fashion enthusiasts and social media users.
Images and videos from the runway appearance quickly circulated across social media, with many viewers initially stunned by the seemingly extraordinary feat of strength involved in carrying two grown men while walking in high-fashion attire.
However, reports indicate that the figures were realistic, lightweight mannequins incorporated into the design of the outfit, rather than two actual men being physically carried by the model.
The unusual presentation has nevertheless generated considerable discussion online, with viewers offering different interpretations of the symbolism and artistic concept behind the ensemble.
Yurr’s appearance has once again highlighted the increasingly experimental nature of contemporary fashion, where designers often use unusual silhouettes, props and theatrical presentations to provoke reactions beyond traditional clothing aesthetics.
The South Sudanese model’s runway moment has since become one of the talking points from the fashion event, placing Abuk Yurr at the centre of a viral social-media conversation.
