Highlight of MVFW2022

Opened on Thursday, March 24, 2022 on the virtual real estate platform Decentraland, MVFW is the largest digital fashion event to date. It was open to anyone and over the course of four days, ongoing events included a number of shows, as well as showrooms, stores, panels, virtual parties and NFT drops. It has also become a major crossover event for mainstream fashion, with brands like Paco Rabanne, Dolce & Gabbana, Etro, Tommy Hilfiger, Dundas and Cavalli joining digital fashion companies like Auroboros and DressX.

As an original, completely digital fashion brand, DigiFun also participated in the fashion week, showcasing dozens of original wearable pieces during the runway and party, and the impact we made was certainly unexpected. DigiFun’s wearable piece Emperor’s Golden Dragon Robe, a collaboration with the Forbidden City, drew particular attention during the show, and fashion magazine Vogue covering the fashion week, specifically selected Emperor’s Golden Dragon Robe as one of the hit products, something we hadn’t envisioned at all.

According to figures released by Decentraland, the platform attracted over 108,000 visitors to the site during fashion week, with wearable content generating nearly $80,000 in sales.

In addition to the ability to purchase, the look and feel is important - it’s the set design, soundtrack and overall vibe that sets the live fashion show apart.This is an absolutely fantastic opportunity to expand the world of brands and their cultural vibe in ways never before possible.

What to expect about DigiFun

As a digital fashion brand in the meta-universe (launching a line of meta-universe apparel and looking to build a broad ecosystem of products that will circulate across major meta-universes and support users in creating digital identities across metaverses.

The brand’s content is not produced by any set group of artists, but rather all DAO members can participate in the design, modeling, promotion and even decision-making of its products. In return, profits and long-term earnings from the products are distributed to the contributing members in proportion to their contributions.

Currently, DigiFun has gathered dozens of designers and modelers, and at this stage, it mainly designs and produces fashion apparel for use in the Decentraland and CryptoVoxel platforms. In the future, it will combine more technologies to enhance brand content and create a meta-universe clothing brand.

DigiFun has worked with major traditional fashion brands to customize virtual wearable NFTs, including fast fashion brand Cider, and individual designers such as KINGWEN. These fashions were all showcased at the first Metaverse Fashion Week at Decentraland in 2022.
