What is the Cyborg Couture trend?
Cyborg Couture: 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.
