The world\u2019s first Metaverse Fashion Week (MVFW22<\/a>) took place on March 24-27 in Decentraland, a decentralized virtual reality platform powered by the Ethereum blockchain. Metaverse Fashion Week started with opening events on the evening of March 23 and after-parties, shopping, panel talks and numerous events took place over the course of four days. What really set Metaverse Fashion Week apart from other digital fashion events <\/a>is that products are purchased as NFTs, i.e. non-fungible tokens, on the Ethereum blockchain. This means that people can use the products they buy on different platforms in the metaverse as well, at least in theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decentraland guest panel talk curator David Cash explained the significance of the event as follows; \u201cWe have sought to present fashion in every form possible, from runway shows to retail experiences, fashion presented as art, film, photography, and even fashion presented in ways that extend beyond the confines of reality – as, in the metaverse, anything is possible\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
