Fashion Week plans have yet again been thrown into question. Here's what you can expect.
The few runway-to-virtual link ups might have something to do with timing and resources. “[It was] the hardest thing I’ve ever done,” Hillary Taymourof making her virtual Collina Strada collections. She had the multidisciplinary artist Freeka Tet to lean on during both projects and her 2021 Animorphs. Tet says the project worked out thanks to Taymour’s relaxed approach to the days of work.
In the United Kingdom, the Institute of Digital Fashion is masterminding fashion’s transition to the metaverse. Founded by a group of digital natives, the organization launched its IRL x URL Academy to teach designers around the world how to translate their garments into virtual items. The group introducedon the red carpet of Britain’s The Fashion Awards last month when guests like Kristen McMenamy, Gabrielle Union, Evan Mock, and Kehlani tried the winged chestplate out.
The IoDF team sees meta-fashion not only as a place for designers to play with creativity, but as a vehicle for making a more inclusive and representative fashion industry. “The fashion industry is a big beast, with hierarchy structures that largely dominate entry level access.
“Not everyone has the chance to go to luxury shops or see runways, digital fashion kind of changes these codes,” says Tet. “Anyone can become their own designer because they now have an easier access to curated and valuable content designed for the web. I love the fact that everybody gets to experience the same thing now.”
So will the fall 2022 runways be taken over by avatars and inclusivity? JW Anderson is already working on another project with Xydrobe, and revealed that his fall 2022 collection will be presented, in part, on digital cartoon characters. But maybe thinking about a runway show as phygital is already an antiquated idea. Anderson’s cardigan first appeared two-and-a-half years ago in June 2019—and it’s still one of fashion’s most popular items.
