A robot baby was an unlikely guest star on the catwalk at the Schiaparelli couture show in Paris earlier this year. Maggie Maurer, who had walked a few seasons previously while pregnant, and last year shared a snap of herself breastfeeding backstage, cradled the tot while wearing a defiantly baby-unfriendly, all-white outfit.
It was a surprisingly tender moment. “I had the ability to bring it to life because my own child is that size,” says Maurer, “to give it nurturing … came very naturally.”
