All of the looks will be chipped and tokenized as some of the first-ever "metaphysical [NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses)" or physical objects that are bound to the blockchain. NFTs put more power back into the hands of creators and Legitimate Tech's NFTs set themselves apart by being programmed to automatically distribute designer royalties from future resales; as such, designers perpetually receive passive income whenever an NFT is traded. At the same time, collectors benefit from a sense of ownership that's backed up by the blockchain. At the event, guests will get to experience [wearable digital couture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portalm-x-virtual-fashion-exhibition), live DJ sets and a randomized NFT giveaway. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 86% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **NFT Fashion:** The emergence of NFT fashion has created disruptive innovation opportunities for designers looking to explore new revenue streams through the blockchain. - **Metaphysical Nfts:** The creation of metaphysical NFTs, physical objects bound to the blockchain, presents an opportunity for new and exciting ways to monetize art and physical goods. - **Blockchain Fashion Shows:** Blockchain fashion shows offer designers a unique way to showcase their work and connect with a new audience interested in NFTs and blockchain technology. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Industry:** The NFT fashion industry offers designers new ways to monetize their creations and reach a wider audience through the power of the blockchain. - **Art Industry:** The emergence of metaphysical NFTs presents new opportunities for artists and collectors alike to monetize physical art and create unique ownership experiences. - **Blockchain Industry:** The growth of blockchain fashion shows and the integration of NFTs into fashion provides opportunities for blockchain companies to partner with designers and explore new use cases for blockchain technology. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic Dress NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses.md) - [Web3 Fashion Show Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reinventing-the-runway.md) - [Digital-First Designer Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-frntal.md) - [Fashion Week NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altuzarra.md) - [Immersive 3D Fashion Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portalm-x-virtual-fashion-exhibition.md) - [AI-Driven Shoppable Catwalks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-driven-shoppable-catwalk.md) - [GenAI Eyewear Shows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/generative-ai-fashion-show.md) - [Metaverse Pop-Up Shops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-pop-up-store.md) - [Crypto-Luxury Fashion Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-01s.md)
