The internet's favourite robot baby from Schiaparelli's last Couture collection has been adopted by Fredrik Robertsson, who embraced parenthood with ease on the Parisian streets
Congratulations are in order for Swedish style icon Fredrik Robertsson, who has made his official debut at Paris Haute Couture Week as a fashionable father. The new addition to his sartorial family is a giant bedazzled robot baby – encrusted with circuit boards, gadgets, wires, and thousands of shimmering Swarovski crystals – as originally carried by model Maggie Maurer down last season's Schiaparelli Couture runway.
It was the same occasion – a Schiaparelli Couture showcase, this time for autumn/winter '25 – that called for the special paternal moment. Robertsson explained to Vogue Scandinavia that he built his entire look around the beloved infant, complete with a coordinating encrusted manicure by Frida Selkirk, and towering futuristic platform boots by Jean Paul Gaultier. Milla Jovovich's crop of orange tresses in 1997 film The Fifth Element served as Robertsson's hair inspiration, pulling off the look with help from custom wigmaker Sofia Laskar.
