Virtual fashion, NFTs, and crypto clothing have all become hot topics during the pandemic, with brands such as Dolce and Gabbana, Gucci, and Karl Lagerfeld stepping into the space. But how will digital clothing impact the way we present ourselves online? Just as face filters have transformed the way we (especially women) see ourselves, so too will digital fashion.
In episode 130 of the Electric Runway podcast, fashion futurist Amanda Cosco continues her exploration of virtual dressing and digital fashion with Emily Rosa Shahaj, the co-founder and CEO of Gravity The Studio. Gravity the Studio is a virtual fashion house designing 3D clothes for digitized identities. Emily's research focuses on expanding cross-platform interoperability of digital assets using blockchain technology and open-source formats, improving real-time virtual fit techniques, and framing the implications of technologically-mediated human interactions.
This episode touches on fashion's long-standing relationship with gaming, virtual dressing as a pandemic trend, and the new frontiers of augmented reality and artificial intelligence for digital fashion.
