Tomorrow, Stylist magazine publishes its 400th issue, a special collectors’ edition entitled The Robot Takeover. The issue marks a key milestone for the magazine, as Stylist turns its eye to the future, with robots featuring in every aspect of the issue – from drones shooting the fashion pages to bots applying make-up for humans. Even the special guest font is created by a robot. This futuristic edition follows the magazine’s previous ‘Made by…’ anniversary initiatives, which saw politicians, celebrities and readers taking over the issue for one week only, continuing to cement Stylist’s position as its readers’ choice for forward-thinking content. ‘The Robot Takeover’ explores just how far technology has evolved over the past few decades. The editorial features showcase the astonishing functions robots are now able to perform and addresses the evolution of technology that can now enhance our lives like never before. The issue features creative editorial content exploring how technology can completely transform our day-to-day lives – including 3D printing meals, providing companionship, checking into a hotel or teaching morning yoga classes. Gracing the cover is Sophia, the first AI robot to ever be granted citizenship of a country. The undisputed star of the issue is seen like never before, taking centre stage in an eight-page spread and modelling this season’s show-stopping dresses. She also gives a frank interview about the meaning of life, offering her unique views on the most pressing philosophical problems of today.
