Fashion and technology have often gone hand in hand, improving supply chains and bringing the world's runways to the masses, but at this week's shows in New York, robotic designs took centre stage.

The dresses were conceived with the help of a kit designed by Anina Trepte, a former model and founder of the 360Fashion Network, who wants designers to integrate technology into their work even if they cannot code themselves.

"I am on a mission to encourage other women to get into tech," Trepte told AFP.

On Trepte's initiative, designers Clare Tattersall and Azrael Yang used the kits to conjure up six dresses unveiled in a Harlem church at a show organized by Melange, a movement promoting diversity in fashion and the art.

Tattersall, a Briton who lives in New York, created one dress with large futuristic flower petals that open and close mechanically on their own -- the perfect eye-catching cocktail attire.

A second dress has a large silver hood that goes up and down with the click of a button.

The last is a fitting frock for the #MeToo era.

It features bits of metal appliqued to one shoulder, and when hidden motion sensors detect someone who is too close, the metal rattles and shakes.

Yang, who is based in Beijing, took her inspiration from the ocean and seaweed for her work, which gently undulate like waves, guided by sensors and environmental data.

"A phenomenal result," Trepte said of the dresses.

- 'Creative tool' -

Trepte, a tall American-born German woman with red hair and big blue eyes, gave up the catwalks and moved to Beijing more than a decade ago to devote herself to fashion tech.

"All the designs and the tech on these clothes were made by women -- and the men did the sewing, ha ha ha!" she said.

For Tattersall, the founder of New York-based fashion tech company ThunderLily, education is key.

"My goal is to get girls involved in math and technology, show them that technology is a creative tool," she told AFP.

Tattersall teaches girls of all ages about wearable technology, which she sees could be especially important in the future in terms of improving our health and fitness.

The dresses were also shown at a separate exhibition in New York's Union Square, along with some of Trepte's own wearable tech -- jewellery that lights up, wallets that charge cell phones and an "SOS" ring that sends a text and a GPS location to an emergency contact.

Also on display were kits to make gloves with LED lights or coats with heating, and even a robot that can prepare cocktails and is activated by wearable tech hidden in the sleeves of a jacket.

- A special guest -

There was a special guest at both the Harlem show and the subsequent exhibition -- the humanoid robot Sophia, made by Hanson Robotics.

Her features and gestures are lifelike -- right down to her eyelashes. The effect is unnerving.

At the Melange show in Harlem, she gave a speech about diversity. On the catwalk: models of all shapes and sizes, races and sexual orientations.

Rag &amp; Bone joined the robotic fun in a different way -- for its big return to New York Fashion Week after a three-year absence, it deployed a giant robotic arm to film its catwalk show.

The images were shown live to the public on giant LED screens.

The robotic arm -- which was connected to sensors capturing the models' movements -- was almost a character in the show, according to Aaron Duffy, who directed the robot for the show.

It went from "kind of playful" to "pretty scary," Duffy told Fast Company magazine.&nbsp;

At New York Fashion Week, robotic dresses take on a life of their own

These were some of the highlights of New York Fashion Week's day three:

California dreamin'

Vibrant colours associated with California's blooming season inspired Wes Gordon's third collection as creative director of Carolina Herrera.

The spring 2020 lineup showed that he is evolving the label since taking over from the eponymous founder in 2018 rather than revolutionising it.&nbsp;

Pink, yellow, blue and orange were all prominently featured as Gordon, 32, created shapes and prints inspired by nature.&nbsp;

Lilies and roses bloomed on chiffon and cotton while Gordon also had fun creating sweeping polka dot gowns.

Sandy Liang's signature&nbsp;

New York native Sandy Liang's eponymous brand has come to embody an innate sense of cool since launching in 2014, and Monday's show enhanced that image even further.

Liang, 28, has become synonymous with hip outerwear inspired by a childhood spent growing up in Manhattan's trendy Lower East Side, with frequent visits to nearby Chinatown.

Through her work, she has made fleece jackets -- her signature piece -- cool again thanks to her own nostalgia for the 1990s.

She drew inspiration from "when you're a kid and you're running around and your mom throws a jacket on you. It was really fun to turn that into my own thing. And now it's its own thing in the collection every season," she said.&nbsp;

Barragan's idea of Mexico&nbsp;

Designer Victor Barragan has been challenging stereotypes about Mexico since his first collection in 2016, repeatedly breaking with American clichés related to its southern neighbour.&nbsp;

His spring 2020 show again challenged the notion of the hypermasculine Mexican male, injecting a sense of femininity through torn t-shirts and low-cut tank tops that evoked female cleavage rather than male torso.

Phillip Lim elevates everyday fashion&nbsp;

Thailand-born Phillip Lim displayed a "utilitarian" collection stacked with outdoor clothing suitable for the active man and woman, including jumpsuits, baggy raincoats and leather scarves.

"That's our DNA basically, clothes that we work in, clothes that we live in. It's about pushing what the uniform can be to make it more buoyant and more refined," he told AFP.

Prominent colours included a seaweed green, cobalt blue and mustard yellow.

The 45-year-old American designer also praised the decision by Fashion Week organizers to reduce the length of the event from seven to five days.

"It's nice. It makes everyone just sit up and take it more seriously instead of letting the energy dissipate," he said.

Cornejo and innocence

Chilean-born British designer Maria Cornejo wowed with a series of chic, comfortable clothes such as structured jackets and fluid dresses, including some in satin.

She told AFP that her show was about "the age of possibility."

"Now we take for granted travel, technology, industrialisation and so it's really incredible to find again that age, that naivete and that innocence. I thought that was a nice way to try to feel fresh," said Cornejo.

Kriti Sanon to attend New York Fashion Week 2019

New York Fashion Week is setting a new trend for September with a shorter more robust schedule. The Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) has dropped the official calendar from six days to five days and nights under the leadership of new chairman, designer Tom Ford.

It's quality verses quantity as New York Fashion Week trims its official schedule
