Should Artificial Intelligence Steal This Job?

Now that the majority of New York Fashion Week's runway shows have gone digital, designers are seeking to replicate the aura and grandeur of the fashion show outside of the catwalk's limitations. From Dior's live-streamed presentations, to Louis Vuitton's short films, to Loewe's FedEx-shipped "Show in a Box", high-fashion has demonstrated how collections can be shared with consumers in new, socially-distant ways. However, one of the main limitations of runway shows was the necessity of models -- and a lot of them. Real-time, in-person runways saw models walking out one after the other. With digital showings-- such as the pre-photographed Resort 2021 collections -- the necessity for more-than-a-couple-of-models is much lower.
