Male models showcasing their prosthetic baby bumps commanded attention during Chinese designer Xander Zhou's fashion show.

Explaining his decision to have male models look pregnant on the ramp, the designer wrote on Instagram: 'At Supernatural, Extraterrestrial & Co., we're prepared to welcome a future of male pregnancy.'

>> Superhero or super-armed?

Xander Zhou also sent a model dressed in a trench coat and six hands down the ramp.

While the designer didn't elaborate more on this idea on his Instagram profile, we feel he left this look open to interpretation.
