Last week, Professor Vincent Quan went on a live interview on A MoMent of Xen that was broadcasted over iHeart Radio, YouTube, and Traverse TV.
A MoMent of Xen is a weekly broadcast that talks about film, fashion, pop-culture, entertainment, and politics hosted by Xen Sams. Xen Sams is an actress, model mentor, and a media contributor who discusses such topics from the millennial mom’s perspective.
In this interview, Professor Vincent Quan talked about where fashion is heading, how far it has come, and how it fits into web 3.0. He mentioned how Ralph Lauren, a fashion company, partnered with ZEPETO, a South Korean social network AR avatar app, to create a metaverse for users to dress their own avatars with products and appearances and how this novel platform both generates a huge advantage for marketing brands and creates an entirely new revenue stream through NFT into the web 3.0.
The Metaverse is changing the view of fashion. Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality opens up opportunities for new business models in the fashion world that leverage virtual fashion targeting the wave of the future, Gen Z.
