With the steady rise of blockchain technology, different types of genres have started to enter the scene. From sports, arts, aesthetics, and now fashion.

In this article, we'll take a look at some fashion designer brands that are embracing the Web3 scene. These insights will help you understand how the future would look where fashion and blockchain will compensate for each other.

AMBUSH Design

AMBUSH design began as a jewelry line with experimental designs that took inspiration from pop art. The distinct Tokyo aesthetic was captured in iconic trademarked motifs, such as POW!, which received media coverage from around the world. Apparel was created to complete the story and AMBUSH evolved into designing unisex collections.

This brand made its Paris debut in 2015 and has been listed as one of Business of Fashion's Top 500 people influencing the global fashion industry for 5 consecutive years since 2015, and HYPEBEAST 100 list for 8 consecutive years.

AMBUSH has also recently partnered with blue-chip NFT - Azuki which is inspired by traditional Eastern style craftsmanship, minimalistic design, and a Web3 culture. ?

REMX.XYZ

With REMX.XYZ, anyone can become an NFT creator. REMX.XYZ serves as an all-in-one platform for 3D models, generative art, augmented reality, smart contracts, and NFT creation.

Artists can easily begin creating these metaverse fashion designs directly on the platform and create NFTs out of their finished creations. By simply inputting directions such as the palette colors, REMX.XYZ will automatically take care of the rest of the creative processes for you. ?

?By enabling anyone with a creative desire to design their own 3D digital fashion NFTs and receive an income from their work, REMX.XYZ could potentially democratize the entire industry and allow for a much more diverse set of fashion designs to be created and shared with the world.

These digital designs can also become physical items. For example, 'REKT Deck' is the first digital skateboard on the platform that is paired with a physical skateboard to match. One lucky collector will have both the digital and physical skateboards, and it supports the artists (in this case, Casey Rickey).

By bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds, REMX.XYZ is bringing an entirely new level of creativity to fashion.

?The project's roadmap briefly discusses their future plans, including creating a Metamall NFT fashion marketplace in different metaverses, more NFT partnerships, and the upcoming 2nd Generation NFT Collection drop.

Closing Remarks

Fashion is no longer bound to the physical realm. As the metaverse develops, expression needs leaders and artists to design what people will be wearing in this new world.
