A model has been captured taking time out of her New York Fashion week strut to give one of her audience members a thwack with her coat.
Just over six steps into her journey down the runway of fashion designer Christian Cowan's show, and a model must have spotted a pesky ex, rival, or someone else with whom she shares serious beef.
One audience member certainly ended up getting a lot more than they bargained for, not just seeing the designer coat on display, but even getting to cop a feel as it was flung directly at their head.

Catwalks may be the epitome of some model's dreams, but clearly whoever this model caught an eye of was enough to risk her career over and to stop her performance for.
Entering the room swirling her coat was really just a warm up to the moment when the model appears to recognise someone, break her walk to stride over and give them a whip of her coat, before turning back to continue her strut.
The post, shared by @parismumpower on TikTok, has since amassed more than two million views and thousands of comments, with viewers in stitches over the rogue turn to the show. One said: 'Bella Hadid when she sees the weeknd in the audience.'
Another wrote: 'IMAGINE U GET INVITED TO A VERY HIGH CLASS FASHION SHOW AND YOU JUST GET ATTACKED.'
A third commented: 'What is she doing... idk but she slayed.'
The model was later revealed as being Theodora Quinlivan, with the creative director and photographer who first shared the video, called Paris, captioning the clip: 'You better BELIEVE if I ever had the chance to walk a fashion week show I'd do it like Theodora Quinlivan.'
The model even took to the post to note: 'And I'd do it again.' Replying to comment, as defnoodles pointed out on Instagram, the TikTok uploader suggested the stunt was part of the show, and they'd reposted the video from designer Christian Cowan.
The photographer has shared other footage from shows at New York Fashion Week, such as a model wearing a huge headpiece adorned in crosses, alongside the caption, 'Going to meet your boyfriend's parents like,' as well as a video from designer Schiaparelli's show.
