Digital Fashion has been on the rise over the past few years with companies such as DRESSX allowing people to buy well-made clothing for their Avatars as well as try on some of these physical law defying pieces. The popularity of digital fashion has paved the way for designer to incorporate other emerging technologies. Designers are using technology tools such as AI and DALLE 2 to explore diverse artistic perspectives of fashion and supplement their creative processes. Augmented reality is making it possible or anyone anywhere to experience a fashion piece, gallery, or fashion show making significant strides toward more accessiblility. Blockchain tracking tools such as Topl Trax makes it possible for brands to storytell the production of physical garments with provable points of ethical labor, proper sourcing, and carbon emissions claims.

Digital fashion stands against most of the issues occasioned by its traditional, physical counterpart. While still claiming to be a part of the fashion industry as a whole, the digital space stands for accessibility, transparency and knowledge-sharing and most of the members of its warm-hearted community turned to digital fashion for its values and opportunities.

​

For designers, digital fashion is synonymous with limitless creativity, without the ecological impact. For brands, it’s the opportunity to make their supply chain incredibly less wasteful and more efficient. For wearers, it’s a chance to explore multiple identities, without the need for physical products. Digital fashion represents a myriad of opportunities for the fashion industry to implement positive change.
