Cyborg Couture

Robotic elements inspire fashion design

Implications - The idea of a robot-run world is steadily becoming a reality, so it's not surprising that fashion designers are looking to drones and cyborgs as inspiration for their creations. Featuring galacticized accents and robotic elements, these futuristic styles and themes give fashion consumers a taste of futurism mixed with high style, and also point to a fantasy world that may not be too far off.
Trend Themes
1. Robotic-inspired Couture - Adding futuristic robotic elements to fashion design are becoming increasingly popular, a trend that is only likely to increase.
2. Androgynous Silhouettes - Fashion brands are experimenting with masculine and feminine silhouettes amid increasing interest in diverse gender expression.
3. Sculptural Shapes - Designers are creating structural pieces that stand out from traditional fashion styles.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Industry - Fashion leaders are transforming how people wear attire by adding robotic elements to their designs.
2. Avant-garde Fashion Market - The use of high-fashion with avant-garde designs is becoming increasingly popular, with these styles likely being embraced in the future as well.
3. Artistic Photo Shoots - The use of surrealistic elements and unusual shapes in fashion spreads such as floral jumpsuits and sequin-and-mesh masks are a trend that will only accelerate in the future.
