The pandemic has stopped all social events, but for many people, it isn’t an obstacle to buy new clothes. Now people are buying virtual creations for Instagram and video games.
Many design houses are facing losses due to the coronavirus pandemic. But there is no crisis in the world of digital fashion.
According to the fashion platform Business of Fashion, brands that create virtual clothes earned about $250 million last year. This is just the beginning, as the potential of the digital fashion market is $25 billion.
Buying clothes in the shape of a digital map that is applied to the photo of the user, to ordinary customers sounds like science fiction. This is expected to be a trend in the near future. Social life in the last year is completely online, and in the virtual world, there is no need for real clothes.

A physical cotton T-shirt generates 7.8 kilograms of carbon dioxide during the “life cycle” from production to waste, and a digital T-shirt only 0.26 kilograms. According to these data, pollution harmful to the environment is reduced by as much as 97%.
