Metaverse and Virtual fashion
qusetion.
Why would anyone buy a piece of clothing that doesn’t esist?
And as you can see, It’s not that it doesn’t esist.
Digtal fashion is real, and it exists in so many virtual universes,ranfing nfrom basic social notworks to fully developed virtual worlds known sa the metaverse, letting people express themselves in a way not possible before.
I noticed was people usually buying clothes just to post a photo of themselves wearing it on their social channels. And later on, they woupd resell it. So they didn’t need or want the actual garment. They wanted its image, ande that image was bveing used online.
Like most of my generation, they had their friends,peers,role models in the virtual space,and this is where we care to express ourselves.
digtal fashion.
You can experience fashion in its purset form,devoid of functional barriers.
You don’t need your sleeves there.
You don’t even need your hands.Digtal fashion is not an altemative but an evolutionary step.
And we are currently at the beginning og this new era
Where you will be able to instantly choose to whom you want to present yourself wearing multiple different outfits at the same time qne using most advanved technology,like AR or VR
For example. And not only does it allow for self-expression in totally different contexts,but digital fashion can be zero-wate and inclusice,available to uesrs,regardless of their gender,size or race.no one knows how far it could go. And someone has to dress these people
but
Is this really what we need?
Should we live in reality or invirtual space?
I think that’s what we should think about too.
Do we really need to manage our own charcter design in the virtual world?
We instead of doing most of the development in the physical space, maybe the digital realm somehow forves you to go into that exploratory direction.
