Talk 1

Fashion’s digital transformation will be a new way of dressing and consuming with the potential for environmental, psychological and social impact. Whilst digital fashion is innovative and, potentially, a sustainable way to create and communicate collections, there is little attention to the consumer’s needs and how this may impact the way we consume and see ourselves. Is digital fashion the new freedom for unlimited creativity and identity? What are the ethical implications? And who owns our avatars in the Metaverse? This talk touches upon some of the key questions of my PhD research.

Talk 2

Metaverse is Fashion’s next goldmine. Fashion NFTs have opened up various new opportunities; they are great story telling vehicles and exclusivity drivers and provide new sources of revenue to retailers and brands. On the other hand, Web3 offers the fashion community solutions for their long concerns around sustainability, supply chain traceability and more significantly accessibility and diversification.

This is by far the biggest transformation for the fashion industry; some big brands like Nike and Adidas have already taken significant steps in this space and there is a lot more to come.

As a retailer or brand, you have many ways to get onto this train as soon as possible; however, a positive outcome and successful user adoption requires a careful analysis.

In our upcoming talk, you’ll learn about:
• NFTs, Metaverse and Web3 and why Fashion industry is so perfectly matched (and ready) for this next wave of web.
• Opportunities for all stakeholders in the fashion industry and why you should take action fast
• How you can best enter the space to have a successful presence in the future of the internet
