dear designboom reader,

objects deemed as toys become life-size set designs in recent fashion shows. in milan, squishy slime transforms into thick and translucent sludge, cascading from the pink-hued ceiling inside prada’s SS24 womenswear show at deposito. toy robots gain a new life as smart humanoid androids such as sophia the robot who interacts with guests at the BOSS techtopia show.

paris follows suit with the checkered pattern on chessboards designing the entire floor of the pont neuf bridge to usher in the debut collection of pharrell williams for louis vuitton. even a disco ball balloons into an oversized globe made of cement, plaster tones and reflective shards before it crashes into the corner of acne studios' SS24 show.

thanks for reading!
