Fashion

Metaverse is all set to reshape the future of the fashion industry. Digital clothing may not be taken very pleasantly but it has immense potential for social engagement. Although the idea has a lot of friction, many fashion brands have decided to explore the possibilities of the metaverse. The shoppers, particularly Generation Z are more inclined towards a fascinating metaverse world. Generation Z contributes to 73% of shoppers.

The appeal of digital fashion is grabbing the eyeballs as it gives complete freedom to designers to dress the digital avatars the way they like and experiment with clothes in a variety of ways, before launching the final product in the market. Furthermore, 3D avatars and NFTs are becoming new promotional tools for fashion brands.
