The Fat Jew, real name Joshua Ostrovsky, made his Fashion Week debut with his Dad Fashion Show. As the title suggests, the apparel shown by the Instagram sensation looked like it was straight from a father's closet.

The outfits that came down the artificial grass runway, were perfect for things like grilling, golfing, and taking care of kids, with looks consisting of several styles of a of khakis, loafers, and baseball caps. Even though Ostrovsky recently joined the professional modeling world, he opted to cast real dads with normal bodies in the show. According to Yahoo! Style, he found several of the men by putting out an ad on craigslist.   

The presentation was put on by MADE, a segment of NYFW that has featured shows from Alexander Wang, Jeremy Scott, and Public School.
