Hajime Sorayama's giant robot for Dior

This video, unveils how Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama created the giant female robot that took center stage at Dior’s Pre-Fall 2019 menswear show in Tokyo.

Kim Jones, artistic director of Dior menswear, commissioned Sorayama to create the giant, retro-futurist robot. It took the form of an “idealised woman”, with details embossed to resemble mechanical joints, nuts and bolts across its body.

“I’ve never created a statue this big before. I got excited by the idea of doing something new.”
