Photography: Moody photoshoot stars robot C.A.R.L in place of any models
Come in beautiful people, your time is up. No more will fashion shoots require your nubile limbs and razor-sharp cheekbones because as happened to supermarket checkout operators and bank tellers, robots are going to take your place. Photographer David Ryle, art director Gem Fletcher and multidisciplinary design duo Studio Boo have produced a photoshoot fit for the 21st Century starring C.A.R.L. who despite, you know, being made of metal, still seems to be able to gaze wistfully into the middle distance and work his angles for the lens. Lovely stuff.
