The little munchkin was carried by his father Geroge Okeny on the runway, who is also a model. Okeny donned an orange crushed velvet suit while the little Zola was seen wearing nothing but an orange-colored panty embellished with a sparkling brooch.

According to New York Post, Zola's mother Yanil Gough watched him from the backstage. She is a model scout by profession.

Babies as young as Zola can be rarely seen on the runway, but the moment she hit the ramp she grabbed the spotlight and became the breakout star.

This year New York Fashion Week will showcase the fall/winter 2018 collections of New York designers as well as those who have elected to present their collections in the city.

The men's collections have been presented at NYFW on the first day itself by Belgian superstar designer Raf Simons. Ever since he made his debut at Calvin Klein, he has been the talk of the fashion industry.
