Tommy Hilfiger will be selling items in its digital store as NFTs, but shoppers can also redeem them for 'physical products delivered straight to the customers' door', according to Boson Portal.
The site also explained that metaverse users 'will encounter floating 3D renders of signature styles, including the varsity jacket for men, the madras shirt for women and a unisex hoodie featuring the iconic Tommy Hilfiger logo'.
Unlike the coveted in-person fashion weeks like London, Paris, New York and Milan which are strictly invite-only, you'll be pleased to know that Metaverse Fashion Week is free and open to all.
To get into the metaverse, simply sign in or create an account on the internet-based platform, Dectraland.
However, if you're wishing to buy any pieces at the event, you'll need an Ethereum (a type of cryptocurrency) wallet in order to make purchases.
