The Fashion X AI show in Hong Kong presented more than 80 outfits which were created with the help of the "AI-based Interactive Design Assistant” (AiDA). AiDA was developed to support designers, and uses AI technology such as image recognition, detection, and image generation. The program then develops designs based on draft sketches, materials and colour palettes uploaded by designers, which they can then adjust to suit their vision. This collaboration process cuts down the time needed to create multiple fashion templates to within 10 seconds. > Read more
The United States Federal Election Commission (FEC) has approved DataVault Holdings’ use of NFTs for fundraising purposes.

Kevin McCoy, the co-inventor of the first minted NFT, says he has spent the last two years lurching “from excitement to dread” as his “own private thought experiment” turned into an NFT mania, which was then promptly followed by a crash.

The fashion industry has begun utilising blockchain technology in order to reduce waste and futurize fashion.

These “phygital” collections can even be permanently paired, meaning that if a physical item should be resold, then the new owner also obtains the authenticated digital equivalent of this item. Some designers are also using digital fashion to cut down on textile waste by releasing collections in the metaverse and using the sales data to inform the production of the physical products. > Read more
The “China Digital Asset Trading Platform”, a government backed digital collectibles marketplace, is due to be rolled out in early 2023. The platform will be run by the China Technology Exchange, the China Cultural Relics Exchange Center, and the Huaban Digital Copyright Service Center and will considered “the only credible depository service platform for tradable digital assets, providing digital asset registration, confirmation of rights, depository, rights protection monitoring, and copyright protection services for institutions and individual users.” This move comes after the Chinese government’s recent crackdown on Bitcoin mining and other cryptocurrencies and popular coins are not expected to be available. > Read more
This article discusses how the metaverse may revolutionise travel in 2023. Augmented reality technology will allow travellers to test destinations before they book, allowing them to try before they buy, and metaverse operations will likely optimise processes throughout airports, such as providing training for ground staff or cabin crew members. Many companies are also planning to combine this new technology with existing experiences by offering parallel 3D interactive experiences. > Read more
