Remember Miuccia's uncanny fascination with robots? She used to clip them on Prada bags and put them in her stores. They seemed so eccentric back then. Well now the robots are hot. Again.
Nicolas Ghesquiere and Hussein Chalayan took this robot motif and made it really intense. While everyone was going crazy for Marie Antoinette, Ghesquiere had been watching
The Terminator and Hussein Chalayan was being inspired by Paco Rabanne's metal-link outfits. (Chalayan's actual collection was rather normal and machine washable but the several clockwork orange style dresses created by the robotics firm in London made the big splash.)
The sci-fi trend was so big and gimmicky that Karl Lagerfeld was accused of
not making the retro-future theme convincing enough! As if he was supposed to. Luckily there was Alber Elbaz, who made this star trek thing seem just right. Any way you look at it the verdict is still the same: we're heading into the season of space age fashion with its man-made fabrics, robotic shoulder pads, space cadet haircuts (thank Agyness) and sci-fi goggles. Miuccia's trinkets seem nice and harmless now, don't they?
