Over, the augmented reality (AR) metaverse platform, will stage the Metaverse Fashion Week 2023 (MVFW23), featuring a range of digital couture and traditional fashion houses, including Gucci, Pinko, Balmain, and Vogue Singapore. Co-hosted by Decentraland and Spatial, the event will explore the intersection of tradition and innovation, with a hybrid event facilitated by the Municipality of Milan. The event will have a greater impact than last year’s version, which attracted 108,000 guests and 165,000 wearables. Over will also organise the world’s first cross-metaverse creator contest, which will give fashion designers the chance to create interoperable digital wearables. Highlighting the hybrid nature of Over’s events, Won Soh, co-founder of Space Runners said, “Over the Reality provides the right mixed reality experience to show just that.” Diego Di Tommaso, the COO and co-founder of Over, said, “We believe this is a game-changer for fashion and look forward to showcasing it to the industry in Milan.” The fashion industry recognises the potential of blockchain technology, the metaverse and Web3.
