FROM RUNWAYS TO PIXELS: How Metaverse Is Reshaping Fashion Retail

The fashion retail industry has always been at the forefront of innovation, constantly seeking new ways to engage with consumers and enhance their shopping experience. In the past decade, the retail industry has embraced an omnichannel strategy, aiming to merge physical and digital retail. So, what's new now?
With the emergence of the Metaverse - a virtual realm where people interact, work and socialize the fashion industry is poised to undergo another transformative revolution.
So, What is the Metaverse?
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO Facebook & Satya Nadella, CEO Google both claim it is the future of the Internet. According to an explainer in The Wired, broadly speaking, the technologies companies refer to when they talk about 'the metaverse' can include virtual reality-characterized by persistent virtual worlds that continue to exist even when you're not playing as well as augmented reality that combines aspects of the digital and physical worlds.
Many companies that have hopped on board the Metaverse bandwagon also envision some sort of new digital economy, where users can create, buy, and sell goods, The Wired continues.
McKinsey gives a far easier explanation Metaverse is the emerging 3-D-enabled digital space that uses virtual reality, augmented reality, and other advanced internet and semiconductor technology to allow people to have lifelike personal and business experiences online'.
What we @IMAGESBoF think - The Metaverse is widely regarded as the upcoming transformative force in technology. It can be defined as a digitally generated virtual realm where multiple individuals can engage simultaneously through specialized virtual reality (VR) devices.
