With the rise of Web3, NFTs and the metaverse, digital-only clothing and other kinds of virtual wearables are becoming increasingly common. And beyond being able to secure them exclusively online, the next generation of fashion consumers can now also visit physical retail spaces like this digital-only clothing retail pop-up shop in New York’s SoHo neighborhood by augmented reality fashion platform ZERO10 and Harry Nuriev’s Crosby Studio.
This first-of-its-kind augmented reality retail pop-up space is a phygital destination where visitors have the chance to "try on" digital clothing designed by Crosby Studios in a brick-and-mortar shop. The five-piece digital-only clothing collection was made possible with ZERO10’s AR clothing technology and the styles serve up a new way for people to play in the metaverse and purchase virtual fashion.
