On a runway in Seoul, machines dressed in fashion walked beside human models — not as a stunt, but as a quiet announcement that the boundary between the mechanical and the human is shifting in spaces once thought to belong entirely to the body. The fashion world, long a theater of human presence and aspiration, has begun to make room for something new. What once would have seemed a dystopian provocation now arrives almost without controversy, suggesting that the deeper transformation is not in the technology itself, but in how readily we have come to expect it.
