Is this the future of the modelling industry? London Fashion Week witnessed a robot take to the catwalk for the first time, however, Los Angeles-based designer Honee, who showcased her designs, isn’t convinced that models’ jobs are under threat.
Little models strutted their stuff down the catwalk as the sixth global edition of the 'International Dwarf Fashion Show' returned to Paris on Tuesday. Models measuring no taller than 1.30 meters, or four and a quarter feet tall, wore the latest clothing trends designed especially for people with dwarfism. Founded in 2014 by fashion insider Myriam Chalek, the show aims at reversing the diktats of beauty and giving smaller-sized people the opportunity to express themselves and their creativity.
As virtual reality tech develops, we are discovering new uses for VR every day. Any mechanic will tell you how many parts any vehicle can have, and how it's not always clear what repairs are needed to fix an issue. The Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research displayed its VR solution for car repairs, which allows users to see a full 3D model of all the parts a car can have, at the 2017 CeBIT digital expo in Hanover on Sunday, . The system is designed specifically for mechanics, but may soon be available commercially. The technology can be used to show a mechanic where he has to look for repairs inside a car or where to install the corresponding part, among other tasks. Held annually in Hanover, CeBIT is one of the world's largest tech trade fairs and will go on until March 24.
Paris Fashion Week has seen Dior, Versace, and Chanel among the top labels taking to the catwalk. But has it also been a week for the global fashion industry to face up to some new realities? Laura Frykberg reports.
