Are you curious about the term "metaverse"? Coined by Neal Stephenson in his 1992 sci-fi novel "Snow Crash," the concept saw a surge in internet search popularity in April 2021.

The metaverse encompasses environments where digital assets seamlessly move across different platforms. It transcends traditional gaming and remains in the nascent stages of its development.

Futurists envision the metaverse as a burgeoning space for new marketplaces, opportunities, and creative professions. In the realm of fashion, the metaverse focuses on two main facets: digital apparel translated into physical garments, and exclusively digital creations wearable via augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR), with a particular interest in the latter two.

Digital fashion offers a sustainable alternative, potentially reducing consumption and waste. Imagine influencers showcasing varied outfits in social media posts without physical production or professionals attending online meetings in bespoke digital attire.

While still evolving, the metaverse promises a limitless domain where the boundaries of imagination are the only limits.
