IMVU is the latest to create hype around these NFT’s everyone’s been talking about with their very own IMVU fashion show.
On the 27th and 28th of May, IMVU will be hosting a virtual fashion show and showcase. This will be in combination with seven of the world’s top emerging designers, and here at The Next Cartel, we are loving the idea!
The goal of this event? To create a social metaverse.
For those who don’t know IMVU, it is a social platform where the youth can create their own avatars. One of their favourite activities is then dressing their favourites ones up. The platform has a community of millions of fashion-oriented fans who either create, and/or buy, and/or sell digital items. With the rise of virtual fashion, one can hardly be surprised that a platform like IMVU will organize its own digital fashion show.
