Vogue sent robots down the runway at Vogue World, and people were not impressed
Four Unitree robots in the show’s “Age of Intelligence” act drew online criticism after they walked unclothed beside models and celebrities.
- On Tuesday, Vogue hosted its fifth annual Vogue World event in Milan at the historic Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, celebrating Italian craftsmanship through five distinct acts featuring legacy fashion houses.
- The event juxtaposed traditional Italian artistry with modern technology, featuring a fourth act titled "The Age of Intelligence" where four humanoid robots from Unitree Robotics walked the runway.
- Legacy houses including Prada, Armani, and Gucci debuted one-of-a-kind pieces, while performer Alicia Keys headlined with a live cover of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" amid celebrity cameos.
- Vogue World creative director Juan Costa Paz positioned the robots as an "inflection point in human history," aligning the publication with tech sponsors Meta Glasses and OpenAI.
- Next year's Vogue World will take place in San Francisco, continuing editor Anna Wintour's decade-long effort to build partnerships with Silicon Valley tech leaders despite skepticism over robot integration.
