The virtual reality Little by little it has been gaining ground. It was in 1992 when the American science fiction writer, Neal Stephenson, coined the concept “metaverso”, in his novel “Snow Crash”, in which he speaks of a compatible and convergent virtual space to the physical reality.
At the end of last 2021, the word metaverse began to sound intensely in each and every one of the corners of Facebook e Instagram and, as a trend, more than once it has been present in Twitter. This virtual reality already has various industries inside: the mundo fashion is never far behind and this 2022 will present for the first time digital gateways in this 3D universe.
The fashion Week in the metaverse will take place from March 24 to 27 at Decentraland, a virtual reality platform used for gaming that is built on top of the blockchain from Ethereum.
In this week, we will find catwalks, exhibitions, pop-up stores, parties and immersive experiences. The fashion week in the metaverse is hosted by the company
UNDX, together with experts from the fashion industry who worked on physical events.
