Yukai Engineering collaborated technically on ANREALAGE’s Spring/Summer 2026 collection, led by designer Kunihiko Morinaga.
The collection explored new forms of expression by integrating robotics technology into fashion design. Inspired by the show’s theme, “Visualization of Life,” Yukai Engineering applied the technology of its tailed therapeutic robot cushion, Qoobo, to bring garments to life. Flowing skirts and dresses with swaying hems, ruffled tops, and bags whose tails move when stroked embodied a sense of living presence, as if the pieces themselves were imbued with life.
The collection was unveiled at Paris Fashion Week on September 30, 2025, highlighting the innovative fusion of technology and couture.
In addition, the textiles feature artwork by a contracted artist from HERALBONY, a creative company dedicated to transforming perceptions of disability and creating new cultural expressions inspired by welfare initiatives.
This collaboration represents a unique intersection of fashion, art, and robotics, resulting in a truly unprecedented creative expression.
