The fashion and jewelry industries are constantly evolving, and technology and the metaverse are playing an increasingly important role in shaping the future of these industries.
The talk "Unveiling the Latest Trends: How the Metaverse is Impacting the Fashion and Jewelry Industries” held on Feb. 17, 2023, offered a unique opportunity for industry professionals to gain insight into the latest trends and predictions for the fashion and jewelry worlds.
The metaverse, virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence and web3 technologies are becoming increasingly popular tools for fashion and jewelry designers to showcase their collections. Virtual fashion shows and online marketplaces are becoming the norm, allowing for greater accessibility and reach for designers and consumers alike. Additionally, virtual reality and augmented reality technologies are being utilized in the retail space to give customers a more immersive shopping experience.
The use of technology in the fashion and jewelry industries is not just limited to the digital space. With the advancement of 3D printing and other technologies, designers are now able to create pieces that were previously impossible to produce, leading to more innovative and unique designs.
One of the key changes that technology is bringing to the fashion and jewelry industries is the democratization of design. With the rise of online marketplaces and the ability for individuals to create and sell their own designs, the industry is becoming more inclusive and diverse. Consumers are also becoming more empowered, able to customize their own pieces and have a greater say in the designs they purchase.
The panel talk has been moderated by Gloria Maria Cappelletti, Editor in Chief and Creative Director of RED-EYE Metazine, as well as Advisor and Partner at Circular Fashion System by lablaco and featured by special guests Alba Cappellieri, Full Professor of the Department of Design at Politecnico di Milano, and Israeli Jewelry Designer Ayala Bar.
