Move over, human supermodels—this week’s Shanghai Fashion Week saw a new kind of star stealing the spotlight: robots. 🕺 Unitree Robotics’ G1 humanoid robot strutted alongside a sleek robotic dog, modeling avant-garde designs from label NMTG. The crowd? Obsessed.
Think this is sci-fi? Think again. For years, designers in Paris, Milan, and Tokyo have fused tech with textiles, from LED-lit dresses to AI-generated prints. But Shanghai’s show took it to the next level. 🚀 The G1’s fluid movements and uncanny 'personality' blurred the line between machine and muse, proving robots aren’t just tools—they’re collaborators.
Experts say this trend is accelerating faster than a runway model in stilettos. 🤖 Why? Robotics and AI are becoming cheaper, more adaptable—and let’s face it, way more Instagrammable. 💃 For Gen Z audiences, it’s a winning combo of innovation and drama.
Craving more? Expect ‘robo-models’ to dominate global shows this year. Like a Black Mirror episode with better outfits. 👀
