Charles & Keith have officially launched Charleskeithhaus, a brand-new metaverse experience based in The Sandbox. Charleskeithhaus offers an interactive and enjoyable approach to exploring the company's world with digital technology that immerses the shopper in the experience.
Color schemes and NFT galleries displaying freshly published artworks accurately represent the digital aspects of the collection. In addition, a rooftop party in The Sandbox will be hosted by virtual K-pop sensation Apoki to commemorate the project's debut. A virtual runway will also be present during the event so attendees can view the new collection in real-time.
‘State of Play,’ the retailer's spring/summer 2023 campaign, inspired the virtual environment, which was carefully designed to capture the essence of the new collection.
