IoDF At Metaverse Fashion Week (MVFW): How The Brand Carves Its Own Path
This year, IoDF uses the digital fashion moment to celebrate new talent and build a more sustainable fashion future. They also invite creators, collectors, designers, and enthusiasts to join the digital revolution.
To encourage this, the Decentraland showspace will have two luxury wearables:
- The IoDF Emblem 001 Skin: The IoDF Emblem 001 Skin, from the IoDF: Emblem Series collection, asks the question, “At the end of the world, do you need more clothes?“.
- The Mourning Gown by Bradley Sharpe: The Mourning Gown, from the AW23 ‘Something in the Air’ collection by Bradley Sharpe, is a Victoriana Tech-inspired gown with gathered sleeves and hood.
Only 100 editions of each are available on the Decentraland marketplace. Both statements aim to provoke debate and discourse on the environmental impact of fast fashion. Moreover, both collections bring to light the sustainable potential of the virtual world.
IoDF’s foundational ethos statement is celebrated through an MVFW experience that is scannable through a QR code. The code takes users to the ’emblem for change series’ NFT site, which unlocks an AR billboard compatible with any landscape. This allows users worldwide to participate in the discourse on sustainable fashion, making the moment accessible to all.
