Top 100 Fashion Trends in May

From Metaverse Fashion Education Programs to Dissolvable Baby Shoes

The May 2022 fashion innovations showcase the brands that are taking the industry in stride by using the latest technology available. One noteworthy company is offering an educational insight into the world of metaverse fashion. CFDA launched a metaverse-focused educational partnership with Polygon Studios and The Sandbox. Together, the companies are offering creatives the tools to bridge the gap between fashion and Web3.

The fashion industry is also using the latest available technology to create eco-friendly fabrics and materials. Woolybubs is one brand taking eco-initiatives to leave less of a mark on our planet and its environments. The company recently unveiled the NEwbie, the world's first disappearing baby shoe that denigrates, leaving no trace behind.
