Digital Fashion Week NY Blends IRL and Virtual Worlds, Kicking Off Fashion Month
Fashion Month launched with Digital Fashion Week New York, blending in-person and virtual experiences. The event started with a conversation between David Cash and Megan Kaspar, followed by panels discussing topics like exclusivity in growth, fast fashion disruption, and transforming retail with experts like André Taylor, Maria McClay, and Andrew Antar. Workshops featured "Robots in Design" and a CLO genius bar, while the Digital Fashion Designer's Council exhibition showcased the latest innovations in digital fashion. The day wrapped with an animation screening and runway shows featuring Loreine, K16, and Vivia Ferragamo.
Looking ahead, Digital Fashion Week London kicks off later this week, with attendees able to engage virtually through the Metaverse if they can’t attend in person.
The return of Digital Fashion Week to the virtual space marks a pivotal moment for the fashion industry. By allowing global audiences to join the conversation about fashion’s future in Web3, the event breaks down barriers and brings inclusivity and innovation to the forefront, creating a more accessible and tech-driven fashion experience.
