Digital streetwear refers to the intersection of streetwear fashion and digital technology, and the genre has been extremely popular in the last couple of years as brands push for innovation-driven design. As part of the Men’s Spring 2024 Season presentation during Paris Fashion Week, the renowned digital-fashion house The Fabricant debuted its collaboration with the pioneering media platform Highsnobiety. The collection, dubbed 'Not in Paris 5,' combines content, commerce, and experiential programming to celebrate fashion and culture.
A stand-out in the collaborative digital streetwear collection is an AR Wearable Varsity Jacket which "creates a mesmerizing effect that seamlessly transforms from a realistic surface to a mirage-like reflection of the surrounding environment." The Eiffel Tower Pursuit Varsity Jacket, on the other hand, is a "digital twin of the classic Varsity Jacket."
