Shopping in the metaverse. Our guide to the major fashion boutiques in Decentraland
Shopping in the metaverse. Our guide to the major fashion boutiques in Decentraland
Not the first, but the biggest metaverse fashion week to date took place at Decentraland at the end of March. More than 60 fashion brands participated, both digital and traditional - physical. The latter included fashion giants such as Dolce & Gabbana, Philipp Plein, Etro and Tommy Hilfiger.
Since MVFW, the crypto community's attention towards digital fashion has increased manifold, and some brands have opened permanent, rather than pop-up, shops inside Decentraland. A list of those worth a visit:
DressX - https://dressx.com
The first international multi-brand retailer of digital clothing that can be tried on in AR mode or superimposed on your finished photo. Two Ukrainians, Darya Shapovalova and Natalia Modenova, launched this startup in the US in 2020.
The price range: is from $25 to $1,500.
Two DressX brunches open: at Boson Portal and in the new Metajuku fashion district, inspired by the famous Japanese fashion street - Harajuku. The video above is available on the link.
DressX current locations:
Selfridges
One of the boutiques of the English luxury department store chain has been recreated in Decentraland. You can buy NFT dresses (and more) from the Paco Rabanne collection. The collection is on display at the Universe NFT https://universenft.live/. There are also 12 unique Victor Vasarely artworks . Utilities of Vasarely Universe NFTs include VIP visits, Patronage and Plaques within the museum of the buyers name. The collection is here.
The metaverse Selfridges location
Gala Marija Vrbanic and Filip Vajda founded the AR clothing brand in Croatia in 2020. It is now represented on the DressX marketplace, and the virtual boutique is located in the Metajuku area of Decentraland. Frequent attributes are the elongated floor of the pieces, the lacquered surface, and the inflatable elements.
Boson Portal
This space is virtual home for D&G clothes, the DressX and other fashion houses. Exciting events are often held here, and the area itself has a very cool design. If not for shopping, then it is worth a visit for aesthetic pleasure!
