One of the topics that frequently comes up when speaking with a digital fashion designer is how more than one piece of software is generally required to make a single piece of virtual clothing. Many view this as an obstacle, not only from an economic perspective but also from a learning-curve perspective.

Tokyo White International (TWI) x Morphy Vision have released their futuristic digital fashion collection Katori, opting to house it in an epic Spatial environment called Zero-G Fashion Realm. The drop is futuristic not only in the design elements of the digital clothing but also within the overall concept. It is an immersive experience where users are taken on a gamified journey in Spatial, completing tasks whilst simultaneously learning more about the Katori collection itself.

For the most part, web3 is built on the idea of inclusivity, empowerment and community. And although many projects within the space have taken advantage of these values (need I mention SBF), there are those who are pushing through with integrity, creativity and commitment to realising these ideals. 

Not too long ago, I came across some intricate designs by an extremely talented virtual tailor and digital creator named Helen Do. Utterly captivated by her depth of mysticism and eloquence of digital craftsmanship, I decided to follow Helen’s quest in exploring the intersection of psychology, technology and art.

As many are aware, I have a bit of a ZEPETO addiction. Not only because it feeds my fast fashion cravings with new drops by the day (well, almost), but also because of the incredible people I have met who share my passion for digital fashion.

Interoperability - a term we are becoming all too familiar with in the digital fashion space and beyond. NFT creators and collectors alike are asking the same question: What more can this digital drop do?

One of the most useful subjects I studied in high school was Visual Art. I never thought it at the time, rather believing that Business Studies would be an invaluable source of knowledge I carry with me forever. However, I had this realisation when I first came across Iana van Aken’s digital fashion designs.
