Phonk Music Model Walk

About

Phonk Music Model Walk is a TikTok trend where people try to emulate different kinds of runway model walks set to a phonk music compilation. TikTokers sometimes also make references to specific designers in their parody runway walks, by using the phrasal template, "How I Would Walk For X Designer". The trend was inspired by fashion and runway edits set to phonk music compilations, and evolved into parodies of how models walk for specific designers. The trend began in August 2022 and continued in parody form into September 2022.
