Today the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) announced a collaboration with The Sandbox metaverse. The trade body plans to use the metaverse for a fashion exhibition as a retrospective celebrating its 60th anniversary. The showcase will highlight designs from houses such as Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, Oscar de la Renta, and more.
Additionally, when the exhibition opens in December, a number of designers have agreed to create exclusive one-of-a-kind non-fungible tokens (NFTs), which will be sold to benefit the CFDA Foundation. The fundraising event, “Lighting the Path of American Fashion,” will feature designs from Diane von Furstenberg, Michael Kors, Wes Gordon for Carolina Herrera, Tommy Hilfiger, Coach, Willy Chavarria, Aurora James for Brother Vellies, and Vivienne Tam.
Attracting those big names is no mean feat. Particularly because designers are known for their attention to detail, and their designs will need to be reinterpreted to a voxel environment – the low-resolution pixelated avatars supported by The Sandbox.
