Comedy writer and filmmaker Deanna Director, in collaboration with engineer and designer Billy Hiller, has taken eggs to couture levels. In response to today’s prices, this creative duo created a luxury handbag to exclusively carry eggs.
This comedic fashion has taken the internet by storm, and to push the matter further, they even went to a Chanel store to showcase their creation. Now, we just have to wait until this iconic brand makes an official offer—because nothing says high fashion like well-accessorized eggs.
This isn’t Deanna and Billy’s first viral sensation. Billy was the mastermind behind the Ace Ventura rhino butt costume that took New York Comic Con by storm. Meanwhile, Deanna has a knack for turning brilliantly absurd ideas into reality, with past work for Taco Bell, Hershey’s, and RuPaul’s Drag Race. She’s also a frequent collaborator with Improv Everywhere, where her original concepts have received more than 15 million views.
