These images were featured in an editorial for [Vogue](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-collection2) Italy a few years back; however, since [robotic fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-vuitton-vivienne-sur-malle) made a strong comeback in 2008, I felt these images were worth re-featuring. This is the type of fashion editorial that will stand the test of time, as it is art in its own right.

I love the sheer crazy nature of the [model robot mash up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fendi-and-mad-architects).

(Top tip: Klein’s website is awesome and well worth checking out.)
