Fuzzy Dude Spotted in the Front Row: GIF Genius Makes NYFW Fun Again
McLaughlin has made some of the most fashionable and memorable GIFs of all time. There are a cornucopia of models, celebrities, and editors in his latest NYFW series––all of whom are holding his creation ‘Fuzzy Dude’.
Whoopi Goldberg and her granddaughter at Milk Studios.
The GIF genius spoke to the Huffington Post about his invention. "I was messing around in my downtime and experimenting with the dynamic hair texture," he explained. "It started to look like a character so I threw eyes on it and it just looked funny. I made it move, posted a GIF on Tumblr and it randomly got tagged and shared."

The boy wonder of animation was invited to attend NYFW last year, but thought “What am I going to do? I'm an animator, and there are already all these talented fashion photographers.”

As McLaughlin continues to be part of NYFW, he is learning and becoming more aware of his surroundings. "I'm getting there... I'm learning more each time. This is definitely a big step up, I mean, I knew who Anna Wintour was this season."
