The Netherlands' Design Museum Den Bosch Hosts 'Screenwear - Exploring Digital Fashion' Exhibition

We are undoubtedly moving towards a (hopefully) more inclusive world, realised through democratic spaces like the ever-looming metaverse, which will, in time, quash any comparisons between digital fashion and science fiction. Digital fashion is more than a fictional fantasy tale, soon morphing into a virtual world that will combine both physical and digital realities. There is already a wide range for the necessary digital closet, including comfortable hoodies you can buy as an NFT to high-profile collectables designed by luxury fashion houses for your favourite game; a whole new world is out there, and the search begins now.

Knowing what to wear in the metaverse is a difficult question. However, Design Museum Den Bosch's latest digital fashion exhibition, Screenwear – Exploring Digital Fashion, may help. From 15 October, you can immerse yourself in this digital world, which discovers the newest generation of fashion designers, all while meeting face-to-face with 'hyper-realistic' digital models. SHOWstudio's very own ikon-1 NFT project will also feature in the exhibition next to a variety of designers also featured in Nick Knight's Jazzelle NFT showcase, including the ever-talented Auroboros, Scarlett Yang, Tony Murray, Studio PMS and more.

Not only will the exhibition allow you to create your own avatar and try the latest digital fashion for yourself, but it will also answer all your burning questions around the ever-cryptic metaverse. What exactly is it, and how do you wear it? Who are the frontiers shaping digital fashion? What do these developments mean for the fashion industry and society? Will we all soon be buying digital clothes? Do we even need digital wardrobes? Hold your thoughts (and your breath); this is going to be big.
