In a time when the Metaverse has become the moment of experience– ranging from various virtual experiences, environments and assets with the likes of NFTs, digital avatars and cryptocurrencies – the world has entered a new horizon of reality.
Despite the overwhelming recent pace of the ‘virtual’ revolutions, overused or underexplained jargons, everyone is trying to stake their claim in the Metaverse and its expounded potential of virtual reality.
When Decentraland hosted the first-ever Metaverse Fashion Week (MVFW22), a four-day event from March 24-27, 2022, it unveiled the future of fashion. MVFW22 heralded the next chapter of fashion.

“The blockchain revolution that is powering metaverse adoption is the perfect moment for fashion to evolve. For years the fashion industry has talked about innovating in the digital space. Decentraland’s Metaverse Fashion Week enables major fashion brands to explore this new space alongside the decentralized artists and designers who created this space. MVFW22 will be a moment when the fashion world will witness the future of fashion, and how this world will enable them to meet new audiences, advance fashion sustainability, and reevaluate diversity and accessibility in fashion,” says Giovanna Graziosi Casimiro, Head of Metaverse Fashion Week.
