The “Alien” movies inspired the robot baby. It was small and bedazzled. It was a marvel of artistic and technological innovation. It was made of Swarovski crystals and repurposed electronic waste. The waste included old batteries, flip phones, and PC microchips. The creation sparkled under the lights. It reflected the futuristic vision of the fashion house.
The baby was brought to life on the runway by model Maggie Maurer, who wore a sleek white outfit with slicked-back hair. She cradled the robot baby in her arms like a natural infant. However, unlike a typical baby, the robot baby did not make a sound during the presentation. The designer deliberately chose this to shift the focus to the online buzz that the baby generated.
The internet exploded with reactions when the robot baby appeared on the catwalk. Many fashion enthusiasts took to Twitter to express their admiration, curiosity, and awe at the glitching masterpiece. Some praised the originality and creativity of Schiaparelli, while others wondered about the meaning and message behind the robot baby. Some even joked that the robot baby was the next big trend in parenting.
The show had more than just the robot baby. It also had other unique pieces that combined Western themes with futuristic elements. The collection had cowboy hats, leather jackets, fringes, and metallic accessories. It also had big gowns, detailed embroidery, and bright colors. The show was a tribute to the legacy of Elsa Schiaparelli, the fashion house founder known for her avant-garde and whimsical designs.
Schiaparelli’s spring 2024 haute couture show was a remarkable display of fashion, art, and technology. The robot baby, the show’s star, was a glitching masterpiece that captivated the audience and the internet. Fashion can create unforgettable moments and challenge the limits of imagination.
