Pablo Rochat puts Balenciaga on a robot vacuum

Pablo Rochat’s Balenciaga Fall 26 post places sneakers on a circular robot vacuum. The overhead frame includes black trouser legs and a concrete floor. A domestic appliance becomes an unexpected part of the fashion image.

Small machine, serious shoes

Rochat credits practical effects to Dalton (@daltonm17), photography to Nate Hurtsellers and modelling to Davin Benson. The distinction matters: the creator identifies a physical production, not an AI-generated scene.

The humour is delivered without a visible punchline. The sneakers remain central, while the object beneath them changes how we read the image. To us, familiar household machinery adds an absurd note to luxury advertising without requiring a complicated plot.
