Metaverse Fashion Week will see high-end designers like Paco Rabanne, Dolce & Gabbana, Tommy Hilfiger, Ellie Saab and more taking to the virtual reality platform to showcase their virtual collections.
The fashion event will be kicked off with Selfridges opening its metaverse store, while Paco Rabanne and Victor Vasarely are set to give fashion moguls an 'immersive experience' with the opening.
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'.

To get into the metaverse, simply sign in or create an account on the internet-based platform, Dectraland.
