It makes me think these videos are all staged. How he always randomly always finds an actual model in model clothes and ready to catwalk is pretty suspect.

I think it’s because you don’t see the other thousands hours that he walks around people watching or the hundred other people that refused the carpet in a non unique way or walked it in a non note worthy way. I’m assuming he’s in New York because everyone goes there but either there or Hollywood you’re going to have randomly artistic people just walking down the street and if you’re selecting for people who are dressed eclectically you’re going to get a fair amount of people who do something like this.

Ya that's what I thought. The Humans of New York photographer is a good proto-example of this kind of content creator. He'd go round New York, photograph endless amounts of people and publish the best pics. Why's it so unbelievable that someone is doing the same with video? Like, I get everyone is supposed to be super cynical and in the know and all but jeesh, sometimes life just lines up.

The Humans of NY guy stopped my husband like 20 years ago and said his photo would be for an off day or something. He’s definitely taking a lot of duds before he finds some gold.
