Metaverse Fashion Week
Metaverse Fashion Week brings the next chapter of fashion to the people. The first Metaverse Fashion Week ran at the end of March and featured some prestigious brands and household name designers. The week was made possible with the assistance of new technology that converts 2D products into 3D experiences. The Fashion Week truly offers a unique immersive shopping experience where people can buy virtual clothing and garments in Decentraland, as well as its corresponding physical piece.
The Metaverse Fashion week allows you to match your virtual and real wardrobes and gain access to exclusive VIP special events. These events allow NFT enthusiasts to meet designers, tech experts, and guest speakers. The fashion week also hosts various runway events and metaverse shopping.
Metaverse Fashion Week uses Threedium 3D engine to bring Fashion Week to life. Threedium helps turn 2D designs into 3D models, enabling fashion designers to create and sell virtual collections. This is done by curating a 5-step process to design a design in-depth and review ready for publication. Threedium bridges the gap between online and in-store shopping through 3D solutions for eCommerce, as well as AR.
