The simulants in Exilium are part-organic, part-robotic hybrids - they come in male and female forms, in the way that mannequins do, and are notable for their lack of navel. They are made not born so, no mother = no navel. This week, model Karolina Kurkova has made headlines for that very same physical attribute.
'Karolina’s body is so amazing, but her belly button totally gives it away,' a fashion insider told this blog. 'We're wondering whether she's beginning to suspect...'
A team of sentient android therapists is on hand to help Karolina with the difficult transition as she comes to terms with her machine status, with weekly counselling sessions to gently erase those implanted memories away.
